Oct. 11, 2018

PARIS – Texas Department of Transportation officials today announced that crack seal repairs on roadways in Delta, Lamar and Red River Counties will begin Oct. 16. As a result, motorists may encounter occasional lane closures.

D&M Contractors LLC, Van, Texas, was awarded the contract for these repairs valued at more than $219,000 and was granted 45 working days, weather permitting, to complete the work.

TxDOT officials said the contractor will begin work in Delta County, and then move through Lamar County before beginning work in Red River County.

This project will include the intersections/interchanges of State Loop 286 and US 271 in Paris, Texas, and will include ramp closures at these sites. Officials said the contractor has tentatively scheduled work on these ramps for Sunday, Oct. 21 to minimize disruptions in traffic. Message boards will be placed on or before Oct. 15 at these locations to alert the traveling public.

Other locations in Lamar County may also be affected by this repair work on Oct. 21, officials said.

Motorists who frequently travel in Delta, Lamar and Red River Counties are asked to pay special attention to all signs, barricades and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones; especially while these repairs are underway. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
