TYLER — Here’s a quick look at other work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
LINDALE — A new traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. Highway 69 and County Road 474 in Lindale is scheduled to be turned on Wednesday morning. The signal is located just north of Centennial Drive in southern Lindale. Leading up to the signal’s activation, TxDOT crews will complete their work to add shoulders and turn lanes at the intersection and a striping crew is scheduled to be at work in and around the intersection on Tuesday.
SEVEN POINTS — Texas Department of Transportation contractor Nixon Construction is scheduled to begin work today to repair a damaged portion of bridge rail on the State Highway 334 causeway bridge, which is nearest to the Seven Points end. Lane closures will be in effect during daytime hours only, and flaggers will work one-lane traffic. Motorists should expect some delays while the work is in progress. The work is expected to last through Friday.
“We’re going to try to make this as painless as possible,” said TxDOT spokesman Larry Krantz. “We were all reminded around this time last year just how important this bridge is to the communities it serves, and we’ve instructed our contractor to act accordingly.” This work is not related to work done on the SH 334 bridge last year to repair a damaged column.
ATHENS — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to perform seal coat operations in various locations on Farm Road 2709, Ranch Road 2970, Ranch Road 2588 and Farm Road 2752. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic. Loose gravel may be present for several days following a seal coat application.
HENDERSON — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to continue street-sweeping operations in the curb-and-gutter sections of U.S. Highway 79 in Henderson. While lane closures are not a part of street-sweeping operations, motorists are encouraged to drive in the inside lanes to avoid having to merge around street-sweeping operations.
Crews are also scheduled to perform shoulder work in various locations on Loop 571 and U.S. Highway 259, and resurfacing work on U.S. Highway 84 between Reklaw and Farm Road 2753. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic.
WOOD COUNTY — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to continue resurfacing operations on State Highway 37 between Quitman and Winnsboro. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers and pilot vehicles will control traffic in two-lane areas.
ANDERSON COUNTY — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to perform resurfacing operations in various locations on Farm Road 1990, followed by the same work later in the week on Farm Road 320 between Farm Road 645 and Loop 256. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location, and traffic will be controlled by flaggers.
