Texas Department of Transportation officials met Thursday, July 7, 2012 with representatives of R. K. Hall, LLC, of Paris, Texas in a pre-construction meeting devoted to traffic safety and construction procedures to be used during the mill and inlay of US 75 in Sherman and SH 56 in Bonham.    

The work to be done will consist of milling to remove failed areas of asphaltic concrete pavement and replacing with hot mix asphaltic inlays, and pavement markings.

The Contractor has been granted 45 working days to complete this $540,076.14 project.  The Contractor was authorized to begin setting barricades and signs on Wednesday, July 11, 2012.  Work on SH 56 in Bonham is beginning, August 8, 2012.  Work on US 75 will begin the week of August 16, 2012.   All work is anticipated to be complete by August 31, 2012.
 
The traveling public is requested to observe signs and to be aware of lane closures and potential temporary detours.  Caution and reduced speed is imperative when approaching these work zones due to the magnitude of the volume of traffic.  Please remember that it is against the law to cut across on to unpaved surfaces and that traffic fines double in work zones when workers are present.
