A second crew is scheduled to make base and pavement repairs on Farm Road 757 near U.S. Highway 271 near Starrville. Elsewhere, TxDOT maintenance crews are scheduled to perform edge work on Farm Road 2710 east of Lindale, between Farm Road 16 and Farm Road 14. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress. Motorists are encouraged to be prepared to reduce speed and merge in and around the work zones.
HENDERSON – Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to resume pavement-repair operations on U.S. Highway 79 between the Star and Farm Road 225.

LONGVIEW – Contract crews on Monday and Tuesday are scheduled to stripe recently repaired areas of WSW Loop 281.
