Detour Ahead

August 17th through 21st US 395 will be diverted through the city of Deer Park. The new traffic pattern will begin Friday evening around 7:00pm with 395 being reopened by Tuesday morning.

  • Southbound traffic will be directed west at Monroe Rd to South Monroe Rd, then east at Burroughs Rd back to US 395.
  • Northbound traffic will be directed north at Main St, west at Crawford Rd, then back to US 395.

Motorists should expect long delays and are encouraged to find alternate routes during this time. This closure will allow for reduced long term traffic disruption as the west portion of the roundabout, currently under the bypass, is constructed.
