FM 1487 Rehab Project begins in early January in Red River County.

PARIS – Texas Department of Transportation officials announced a rehab project to improve a portion of FM 1487 in Red River County, starting Monday, January 8.

The contractor, AK Gillis & Sons LLC, Sulphur Springs, Texas, was granted 304 working days, weather permitting, to complete this project valued at more than $6.7 million. The contractor plans to set road alert barricades on Tuesday, January 2, and begin work on Monday, January 8. The target completion date for this project is mid-August 2025.

The contractor will widen and rehabilitate the pavement on FM 1487, the intersection at FM 910, to the intersection at FM 412. Officials said that crews will also improve drainage structures, a new pavement surface, and apply pavement markings.

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

Motorists who frequently travel in the area should 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.
