Texas Department of Transportation officials met Tuesday, July 3, 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 base repair of FM 691 in Sherman.
The work to be done will consist of flexible pavement structure repair that includes one course surface treatment and 2” HMAC overlay.
The contractor has been granted 30 working days to complete this $858,593.64 project. The contractor began setting barricades and signs on Monday, July 23, 2012. Work on the road is beginning, August 8, 2012 and 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.
