FM 1497 Rehab Project Begins October 18 in Lamar County

PARIS – Texas Department of Transportation officials announced that a rehab project to improve a portion of FM 1497 in Lamar County begins on Wednesday, October 18.

The contractor, AK Gillis & Sons LLC, Sulphur Springs, Texas, was granted 182 working days, weather permitting, to complete this project valued at more than $3.8 million. The contractor plans to set up road alert barricades on Monday, October 16, and begin work on Wednesday, October 18. The target completion date for this project is July 2024

.The contractor will widen and rehabilitate the existing pavement surface on FM 1497 from the intersection at FM 1184 to the intersection at FM 3426. Officials said crews will also install new drainage structures, update the bridge rail and metal guard fence, and install pavement markings.

This project will require temporary lane closures and lane shifts during construction. Officials said that travelers must reduce their speed and watch for workers at all times.

Motorists who frequently travel in the area must pay special attention to all barricades, traffic controls, and signs and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions like cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
