District-wide traffic safety project begins
The Texas Department of Transportation has begun work on a $451,442 safety project to install reflective pavement markers to various roads in all the Lubbock District’s 17-county service area: Bailey, Castro, Cochran, Crosby, Dawson, Gaines, Garza, Floyd, Hale, Hockley, Lamb, Lubbock, Lynn, Parmer, Swisher, Terry, and Yoakum counties.
Project contractor TRP Construction Group, LLC, of Fort Worth, began the work on the area’s interstates, U.S., and state highways, and other various roadways on Monday. RPMs are designed to increase the visibility of roadway striping during inclement weather and nighttime.
Crews are scheduled to start work in Hockley County. No lane closures are planned during the mobile operation, but motorists can expect slow moving equipment and are urged to use caution when driving through the mobile work zone, since crews will be working in traffic.
Work is expected to wrap-up in late-June and will take place weather permitting.
