Pulte Homes is widening Hunt Highway south of Merrill Ranch Parkway to just past the Johnson Utilities pump station. The work includes widening Hunt Highway to its ultimate design of 6-lanes with a divided median, as well installing both a pedestrian box culvert & a drainage box culvert.
The work will begin by creating a temporary by pass or "shoe-fly" that will allow traffic to continue along Hunt Highway. No interruption of service on Hunt Highway during this stage of construction is expected.
