Two-lane Farm Road 1417 has become a major bottleneck as Sherman, Texas expands east, most recently with a new high school in the area. ZCC has already been working close by on the U.S. Highway 75 Grayson project so the projects will share many of the same resources. 

Zachry will transform the two miles of FM 1417 into a six-lane divided highway in 30 months’time. The project will entail paving four miles of concrete, placing 20 cast-in-place walls and adding a new storm drain system.

The work will also consit of lowering a bridge approximately 18 feet and building a new one to divert traffic.
