Traffic along the access road that used to go to the Roy K. Robb Center and the construction site for the new Tom Green County Jail will be rerouted down Tractor Trail and behind the Robb Center.  

Reece Albert, Inc. is the contractor for the project.  TxDOT spokesman John Dewitt said the project will take three years to complete and traffic will be routed around construction using access roads.
