This project will widen Rayford Road from four to six lanes between Lazy Lane and the Grand Parkway, construct a six-lane bridge over the Union Pacific Corp. railroad tracks, install new traffic signals and add a raised median. As of mid-June, concrete had been poured for two westbound lanes east of the UPRR bridge and drainage pipe installation was nearly complete. Temporary lane closures are ongoing throughout the project. About 135 work days remain on the project, said Andrew DuBois, manager of projects and logistics for Montgomery County Precinct 3.
