Franklin County’s FMs Getting A Face Lift

Texas Department of Transportation out of Paris announced that they would upgrade Franklin County’s Farm to Market Roads. The work project begins Tuesday (Nov 28). CBM Holdings LLC has the $1.5 million project with 95 workdays, weather permitting. Roads involved are FM 21, and FM 3357.

The construction work will occur on FM 21, from FM 2723 to County Road 4140; and on FM 3357, from FM 115 to State Highway 37. The contractor will install safety treatments to existing structures, widen the roadway lanes, and apply a seal coat to the existing pavement, officials said.

The project will at times require temporary lane closures on both roads.

Those who regularly travel along these roads in Franklin County are advised to remain alert and pay particular attention to all signs, barricades and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
