TYLER — Here’s a quick look at events and work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
Tyler — The Texas Department of Transportation’s annual preventative maintenance program known as “District-Wide Seal Coat” is scheduled to possibly conclude this week with crews working extensively in Smith and Wood counties. Crews will move to Farm Road 14 inside Tyler’s Loop 323 on Monday, and finish the contract with several days’ work on Farm Road 515 in Wood County between State Highway 154 south of Yantis near Lake Fork, and State Highway 37 in Winnsboro.
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.
SMITH COUNTY — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to conclude resurfacing work on Farm Road 344 east of Bullard between Farm Road 756 and State Highway 110 south of Whitehouse, followed by the same work on Farm Road 850 east of Tyler between Farm Road 2607 and Farm Rad 3053 in Overton.
