SH 195 Detour from
Ronald Reagan Blvd.

 

Please be aware when exiting Sun City Texas going north on Ronald Reagan Blvd., there is a detour to enter SH195. The detour is needed because two-way traffic has been shifted over to the new lanes of SH195 while TXDot works on the old section.

The real trick is returning to Sun City Texas via Ronald Reagan Blvd. A new bridge now carries SH 195 over Ronald Reagan Blvd; bypassing it and thus eliminating easy access. To return to Sun City Texas by SH 195/Ronald Reagan Blvd, follow the detour sign off of SH 195 going west and turn right. Remain on this road for almost two miles. This is a rough road and poorly marked, so have faith that you are on the correct road. It ends at Ronald Reagan, so turn right to return to SCTX.

Drive carefully!
