Big rock on restaurant construction site will require explosion

If you are in the area of W.O. Ezell Boulevard and hear an explosion on Wednesday or Thursday, dont be alarmed.

Fire Marshal Brad Hall said that construction crews have found the rock during grading work at the new Texas Roadhouse.

Hall said to proceed with construction, the rock will need to be blasted free.

The blast is scheduled Wednesday afternoon, unless it is delayed by rain. It would then be rescheduled for Thursday.

This is a normal part of construction that occasionally occurs Hall said. State permits have been approved and a licensed blaster will be doing the work. There should be no interruption to anyones daily lives, but we want people to be aware what is going on if they hear the blast or explosion occur.

Hall said there is no need for anyone to call 911 in connection to the explosion.
