Watch For Night Work on I-30 in Hunt, Hopkins Counties

Striping work begins Aug. 13

PARIS – Texas Department of Transportation officials today alerted drivers who frequently travel on Interstate Highway 30 in Hunt and Hopkins Counties that work will begin Monday (Aug 13) to re-stripe that highway.

Contractor Stripe-A-Zone Inc. will be re-striping main travel lanes along I-30 at night, working from 7:00 pm until 7:00 am starting Monday (Aug 13) through Friday (Aug 24), weather permitting.

This work will extend from the Hunt-Rockwall County line eastward to the Hopkins-Franklin County line. This is a mobile operation that will affect only one lane of travel at any given time, but the contractor will cover both main lanes of east- and westbound travel on I-30 during the contract work period.

Motorists who travel along I-30 in Hunt and Hopkins County at this time are asked to pay special attention to all signs and traffic controls and reduce their speed as they approach and travel cautiously through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
