\nTYLER — Here’s a quick look at other work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

SMITH COUNTY — Construction crews this week are scheduled to install centerline rumble strips on the following roadways on the following days:
\n*Tuesday, on Farm Road 848 between Spur 248 (University Drive) in Tyler and Farm Road 346 in Whitehouse;
\n*Wednesday, on Farm Road 2493 (Old Jacksonville Highway) between Farm Road 2813 in Gresham and Brook Hill School.<\/p>\n

Applying centerline rumble strips requires the work of a slow-moving convoy, so while lanes will not be closed for the work, long delays similar to those encountered with a striping crew, are possible. Motorists are encouraged to use caution while passing the convoy, and to avoid the convoy altogether by seeking alternate routes if possible. Studies have shown that centerline rumble strips, which create a vibration and a humming noise when crossed with tires, can help reduce incidents of head-on collisions by keeping motorists alert and helping prevent them from unintentionally crossing into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n

TxDOT contractors have been installing centerline rumble strips and widening the shoulders of various roadways across the Tyler District in the past year as part of a statewide safety initiative aimed at reducing the high number of fatalities on Texas highways each year. Similar rumble strips have been added on State Highway 64 east of Tyler and on U.S. Highway 79 east of Henderson.<\/p>\n
