Construction of FM 1187 continues on schedule with crews planning to begin paving the week of June 3. Paving will start at Bankhead and move north to I-20. In order to lessen the impact on motorists, paving will take place at night beginning at 8 p.m. and finishing at 6 a.m. This work is expected to be finished in approximately 3 days, weather permitting. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in the areas where paving is taking place.
A water main break in the City of Aledo will curtail service from S. Front Street to Barnwell Lane for the two to three hours beginning about 6:15 p.m. Monday, May 6. Aledo Mayor Kit Marshall announced that the Villages of Aledo, Stonebluff and Fairview would have decreased water pressure during that time.
The City of Aledo announced that 1187 will be one-way from Oak to Elm on Monday, April 29, through Thursday, May 2. Underwood at 1187 will be closed beginning Friday (today) or Monday. East Oak at 1187 will remain closed through the summer.
We have received notification from the Texas Department of Transportation that the lane closure on FM 1187 from Oak to Elm will be pushed back a few days in order to accommodate people getting students to school on time for TAKS and STAAR testing.

ALEDO — Farm-to-Market Road 1187 will be reduced to one lane from Oak Street to Elm Street daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the installation of box culverts. Flaggers will direct motorists through the construction zone. Elm Street at FM 1187 will also be closed starting Monday.
The $11.7 million FM 1187 project will expand the roadway to a four-lane divided, concrete roadway with raised medians, curb and gutter and sidewalks.
Completion is estimated for winter 2014. The new roadway will tie into another project known as Aledo Trail, in downtown Aledo.
We appreciate motorist’s patience while crews complete this construction. During construction, alternate routes are encouraged.

In addition, weather permitting, McMahon Construction will close Underwood Street at FM 1187 for work involved with the Aledo Trail project on Monday, April 22. The detour route for the Underwood road closure is West Oak to Pine then Pine to Underwood.
