If Garden Ridge Boulevard is how you get to work in the morning, your commute just got a little tighter.

Emergency repairs are underway after a water main failed where Garden Ridge Boulevard meets Flower Mound Road (FM 3040). The failure was unplanned, and so is the traffic hit.

Northbound lanes on Garden Ridge are closed between Flower Mound Road and Lancashire Drive. Expect merging and tighter passing room than this stretch normally sees.

Plan for extra time heading north on Garden Ridge during rush hour, or pick an alternate route now.

Because this is emergency work rather than a scheduled project, the repair timeline could move in either direction.
