As many Texans make travel plans to celebrate the remaining days of summer, TxDOT's "Plan While You Can" campaign reminds them to make a plan for a sober ride before the festivities begin.

Motorists are advised to remain alert and pay special attention to all signs, barricades and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones.

It should be noted that any new roads depicted in the plan are conceptual and for planning purposes only. Future engineering and design studies could impact actual alignments.

I am so honored to live in Fannin County. I will tell you why as of last Tuesday.
