TxDOT lists a nighttime northbound US 281 closure from 1.657 miles north of FM 1863 to 0.994 miles south of SH 46, ending Nov. 5, 2026. Its DriveTexas entry says the work involves base repair paving.

Drivers using that northbound stretch should expect delays during the listed night work; TxDOT lists no detour for this entry. The listing also says alternating lanes are closed and describes the northbound roadway as closed at night. It does not specify closure hours in the retained entry.

The Nov. 4 entry covers a different direction and segment from an Oct. 29 listing that ran through Oct. 30: that earlier record described southbound alternating lane closures south of FM 1863. Its earlier end date should not be read as the end of the newer northbound work.

TxDOT lists Nov. 5 as the end date for the northbound entry. Drivers can check the current US 281 conditions on DriveTexas before traveling; the listing is the place to verify whether the restriction remains in effect and whether TxDOT has posted more precise hours.
