Motorists in south Brazos County can again use I & GN Road between Graham and Capstone.
Barricades were removed Tuesday, two and a half years after the road was closed due to safety concerns that threatened the pavement going into an 18 foot ditch.
County judge Duane Peters says the nearly $1.7 million dollar project included lowering the road four to five feet. That saved more than $2 million dollars compared to the original design.
The design change and acquiring property through eminent domain were among the reasons for taking more time.
