Drivers encounter Hwy. 180 detour

More than one driver traveling from Albany to Breckenridge last week mentioned an unexpected jolt, which was quickly replaced by a six-mile detour.

A collapsing metal culvert, located between O’Neill Drive and the Breckenridge city limits, is being replaced with a concrete culvert, and TxDOT officials are unsure how long the repair will take.

Meanwhile, motorists must travel to the south on FM 2231 and FM 3099 to reach Breckenridge.
