Infamous Brazos Turnaround near Sugar Land shut down
Sugar Land police secured Texas Department of Transportation approval to permanently seal the Turnaround on U.S. 59, once a notorious dumping ground for murders, rapes, drownings and criminal activity. The area, used since the 1960s for U turns, will be closed after prior flood-related restrictions, with two other exits offering limited turnaround options nearby. Local officials recall frequent emergency calls and a long stigma of crime tied to the site, while希望 emergency vehicle access is rerouted to a new turnaround between the remaining exits.
