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 11 from State Highway 19 to White Oak Creek, crews will install guard fencing and perform striping operations.
  • On SH 19 from Loop 301 to the Delta County line, crews will install erosion control devices preparing for safety enhancement work.
  • Through Hopkins and Franklin counties from the Titus County line to the Hunt County line on Interstate 30, crews will 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.
