PARIS — The Texas Department of Transportation, Paris District, of which Hopkins County is a part, announced road work and repairs for this week for the county.

These schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment failure or other unforeseen issues, TxDOT said. Motorists may encounter lane closures and short traffic delays around the following:

  • On State Highway 19 from Loop 301 to the Delta County line crews will install erosion control devices in preparation for safety enhancement work.
  • On State Highway 11 from SH 19 to White Oak Creek, crews will perform surfacing operations.
  • From the Titus County line to the Hunt County line along Interstate 30 through Hopkins and Franklin counties, crews will continue to upgrade metal beam guard fencing.

Motorists are advised to remain alert and pay special attention to all signs, barricades and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
