Freedom Boulevard Intersection In Bryan Closing For Weekend

Traffic tie-ups are coming to Bryan's busiest street this weekend as contractors shut down Freedom Boulevard at the Briarcrest Drive intersection for the whole weekend.

Several local businesses are expecting to take a hit.

Driving in Bryan is getting more difficult and a busy weekend will bring detours to a major shopping area.

Freedom Boulevard is closing starting at 6:30 P.M. Friday at the Briarcrest Drive intersection so that construction crews can fix the pavement and median.

Casa Ole's main road and a number of other businesses have less access now. Waiter Francisco Tirado expects a slow evening but thinks travel will be better after the improvements.

"Probably going to be a crazy night. There's going to be a lot of people that doesn't know about that new stuff they are doing they are blocking the road and everything," said Francisco Tirado.

Taylor Matcek came to eat at Casa Ole but plans to steer clear of the area this weekend or at least plan ahead.

"It was good right now it wasn't too bad. Guess we'll see when they start," said Matcek.

The detour will last all weekend long with Freedom Boulevard not expected to reopen until 6:30 Monday morning.
