$2 Million Road Project to Begin Nov. 29

The Texas Department of Transportation will start the project for the construction and restoration of existing roadway on November 29th (weather permitting.) The project limits are on US 90 from 0.12 miles west of SH 95 to Elm Street in the City of Flatonia.

Hunter Industries Ltd, of San Marcos, Texas, was awarded the contract with a bid of $2,724,321.52

Message boards and barricades will be used to advise of detours and alternate roues, when applicable. Contractors will work during daylight hours with 6-day work weeks. Contractors will make every effort to keep work zones and public areas clear of debris and safe. They will also make every effort to minimize lane closures. Lane closures may be used to get heavy equipment in and out of the work zones, but closures are not scheduled to last for extended periods of time or overnight.

As the project progresses, we will continue to update the traveling public of detours and closures. Estimated project completion is Fall of 2022 (weather permitting.)

Motorists should expect possible traffic delays, are urged to use caution when driving through the work zone, and should keep the following tips in mind:

• Slow down and always follow posted work zone speed limits.

Speeding is one of the major causes of work zone crashes.

Remember, traffic fines double in work zones.
