Drivers in Stanton have been dealing with a big change to their traffic patterns the last two weeks, but it has been a much welcomed change. Crews finished the concrete work on the north side of BI-20 at the intersection of Hwy 137. Now the south side is closed and traffic cannot cross the railroad tracks. Expected construction completion has been pushed back to January 2026. Hopefully the railroad is open before then.
