Drivers in Wichita Falls should prepare for delays as construction has begun on FM Road 369, stretching from the Wichita River to Old Iowa Park Road. The $2.1 million project, led by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), will repave the road, repair pavement issues, and lay fresh asphalt.
With the road reduced to one lane and temporary traffic signals in place, commuters should expect slower travel times over the next few months.
