Upcoming traffic switches planned for Corrigan, August 25, 2025,– Three traffic-pattern switches on two U.S. highways will be implemented this week as work on the Corrigan Relief Route progresses.

The first of the shifts will be for northbound traffic on U.S. 59, which will take place on Tuesday, August, 26. Temporary lanes were built in what will become the median of BUS 59 when the relief route is completed. The existing righthand lanes will be used with the temporary lanes to maintain two lane highways for north and southbound traffic.

The second shift will be for the southbound lanes on Wednesday, August, 27. With traffic shifted, construction will begin on the relief route in this section of the project. On US 287, temporary pavement was built on the shoulder of the eastbound lanes. Traffic will move to the new pavement to provide space for the construction of the permanent roadway on the westbound side, near Dipping Vat Lane.

This is the third shift and will take place on August, 28. Overall, the Corrigan Relief Route continues to progress as scheduled with an expected completion date in winter 2028.

Montgomery County Judge, Mark Keough

Montgomery County Judge Shows Good Judgement in Looking Out for Their Law Enforcement Personnel. Polk County Should do the same. It's like Polk County has become a training ground for new law enforcement personnel. Once they're trained and become good officers of the law, they're lured away by surrounding entities who pays them more. Our current deputies have to work extra jobs and spend more and more precious time away from their families in order to make ends meet. Who can blame them for leaving for better pay? Montgomery County Judge, Mark Keough, looks out for their county law enforcement, pays them competitively, and keeps a seasoned, experienced staff of law enforcement officers making their county a safer place to live. - Willie P. Openshaw, Editor, PolkCountyToday.com

The following is a statement from Judge Mark Keough

For the past few months, Montgomery County Commissioners Court has been hard at work addressing pay parity for all of our law enforcement departments.

We formed a committee to review deputy pay, comparing it to the City of Houston and Harris County, the two largest agencies in Texas, and both right in our backyard. Our goal was simple but vital, take care of those who keep us safe, retain our talent, and keep our deputies from being pulled away to neighboring agencies that collectively have more vacancies than we have sworn personnel.

For me, as County Judge, this was also about improving the quality of life for our deputies, many of whom work extra jobs, sacrificing precious time with their families, just to make ends meet.

This week, after a thorough and thoughtful process, the Commissioners Court unanimously adopted a new pay structure for our deputies and officers that directly addresses these concerns. It will help us retain our best, recruit the brightest, and ensure Montgomery County remains one of the safest counties in Texas.

I’m proud of the solid work our Commissioners Court put into this matter. For many years, Montgomery County has made investing in our law enforcement community a priority and this year is no exception.

To our deputies and officers: Thank you for answering the call, day or night. We’ve got your back.

Re: Housing of Inmates Out of State

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has been housing inmates at the Louisiana Work Force LLC facility in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana, due to ongoing staffing shortages at the Polk County Jail. According to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, each county jail in Texas is required to maintain a minimum ratio of one guard for every 48 inmates.

Like many other county jails across Texas, Polk County has faced significant staffing challenges. These shortages, along with issues of overcrowding, have forced many facilities—including ours—to explore alternative housing options for inmates. We conducted a thorough search for suitable facilities within Texas that could house our inmates while also being reasonably close to Polk County for court-related travel.

The only viable in-state option was in Eagle Pass, which could accommodate 60 to 100 inmates. However, it is located approximately six hours away, one way. In contrast, the facility in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana—though out of state—is only a two-hour drive and can also house between 60 and 100 inmates. This proximity allows us to keep our inmate population centralized, rather than spread out across multiple locations.

Housing inmates in Beauregard Parish has enabled us to remain in compliance with Texas Minimum Jail Standards. Inmates’ essential needs, including medical care, commissary access, and mail services, are being fully met at the Louisiana facility. Once our staffing levels are restored and in-county housing becomes feasible, all inmates will be returned to the Polk County Jail.

Thank you,

Polk County Sheriff, Byron Lyons
