SHERMAN, Texas (KTEN) — The Texas Department of Transportation closed North Travis Street at U.S. 75 in January as part of a project to build the highway's new southbound overpass in Sherman. The resulting detour caused a major headache for some drivers. "There was really not a great way to get underneath the highway, other than waiting at the light at Washington Street, which took a long time," said City of Sherman spokesperson Nate Strauch. Travis Street is now open again, and downtown businesses were ready for the resumption.
