Rice Road and Shiloh Road Changes

TYLER — During Wednesday’s meeting, the Tyler City Council approved a construction contract with Reynolds and Kay, Ltd., to reconfigure the pavement markings on portions of Rice Road and Shiloh Road between Old Jacksonville Highway and Rhones Quarter Road. The result will be the addition of a continuous left turn lane. “This improvement is expected to decrease the number of collisions and improve the progression through the corridor,” said City Engineer Carter Delleney. “The addition of sweeping rights at strategic locations on Rice Road and Shiloh Road will improve traffic flow and the safety of the traveling public.” The project will include a seal coat with a micro-surface overlay and new thermo striping.
