\"TxDOT<\/a>TYLER – Here’s a look at work planned in the district during the Week of September 12th. These schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment failure or other unforeseen issues.<\/p>\n

WHITEHOUSE – County Road 2138, south of Whitehouse will be closed beginning Monday for the reconstruction of the bridge at Blackhawk Creek. Work on the bridge, located 1.2 miles north of Highway 110, is being done by the Texas Department of Transportation and is expected to take about six months. Electronic signs have been placed on the CR 2138 to alert drivers that it is closed to traffic. Motorists will need to find alternate routes during this time.<\/p>\n

Districtwide seal coat operations continue with work returning to Farm Road 1861 in Henderson and Van Zandt counties Tuesday, weather permitting. The work limits are from Farm Road 316 moving east to State Highway 19. The contractor then plans to move operations to State Highway 110 from Farm Road 1255N going southeast to Farm Road 18 in Van through Wednesday. The week winds down with work on U.S. Highway 69 from the Wood County line moving southeast to north of Lindale in Smith County. This will be daytime work conducted by the contractor, Brannan Paving Co., LTD, of Victoria, Texas.<\/p>\n

The summer seal coat operation is the department’s preventive maintenance program that helps preserve roads by sealing them to keep water out, thereby, adding years of life to them, and lessening the required maintenance while providing a new driving surface for motorists. Seal coat applications are conducted on roads around the Tyler District’s eight counties. Motorists should bypass seal coat locations when possible to avoid delays.
