PHOTO: Intersection demo done

This view of the U.S. 281-RR 1431 intersection in Marble Falls would have been totally obscured by the old Thai Niyom building 10 days ago. The demolition of several structures on the southeast corner of the intersection was completed on Tuesday, March 4. The work began on Feb. 25, part of a Texas Department of Transportation effort to add a right-turn lane for northbound traffic on U.S. 281. The project is expected to go out to bid in 2026, according to the most recent plans from TxDOT. Staff photo by Dakota Morrissiey
