TYLER — Here’s a quick look at other work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.

TYLER — Beginning as early as Sunday, July 24, Texas Department of Transportation contractor APAC-Dallas is scheduled to begin nighttime pavement repairs and resurfacing on State Highway 110 in Tyler between Golden Road and 5th Street. Crews will be at work each night, Sunday-Thursday between 8:00pm and 5:00am until the work is complete in approximately two months. Meanwhile, the pavement-repair phase of the night work on Loop 323 is complete. Crews are scheduled to begin final resurfacing, also during nighttime hours, as early as this Wednesday.

JACKSONVILLE — Texas Department of Transportation contractor TNT’s Pipleline Corp., of Southlake, is scheduled to begin nighttime sweeping and resurfacing operations on U.S. Highway 69 in Jacksonville tonight. Lane closures will be in effect between the hours of 7:00pm and 6:00am each night for about one week while the work is in progress between U.S. Highway 79 and South Loop 456. Motorists are encouraged to follow the instructions of flaggers and restrict left turns to areas where work is not being conducted.

Also this week in Cherokee County, TxDOT maintenance crews are scheduled to continue base and pavement repairs on U.S. Highway 84 between Reklaw and Farm Road 2753 in Rusk County. Daytime lane closures will be in effect while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic.

VAN ZANDT COUNTY — The Texas Department of Transportation’s annual seal coat preventative maintenance program is scheduled to begin work in Van Zandt County today. Crews are scheduled to begin on State Highway 198 between State Highway 64 in Canton and the Kaufman County Line, followed by Farm Road 751 between the Hunt County Line and Farm Road 47. A second crew is scheduled to perform additional seal coat operations on Farm Road 1255 between Farm Road 17 and Interstate Highway 20.

Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic in two lane areas. Loose gravel may be present for several days following a seal coat application. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid delays.

The District-Wide Seal Coat program, which will seal approximately 300 miles of roads as it passes through all eight counties in the Tyler District before the end of August, uses a two-step process of spraying down hot asphalt and covering it with rock to add years of life to existing pavement.

ATHENS — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to begin approximately two weeks of pavement repairs on State Highway 31 in Henderson county, beginning with about two days of work on State Highway 31 near Trinidad. Once that work is complete, crews are scheduled to move into Athens on State Highway 31 Business between the town square and East Loop 7. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and motorists are encouraged to be prepared to reduce speed and merge in and around the work zone.

ANDERSON COUNTY — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to continue pavement repairs on Farm Road 1990 between State Highway 294 and U.S. Highway 79 in Palestine.
