PARIS --- Texas Department of Transportation announced planned road work for this week. These schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment failure or other unforeseen issues, TxDOT said.

In Hopkins County along State Highway 11 from State Highway 19 to White Oak Creek, crews are scheduled to replace an existing drainage structure. Watch for lane closures and short traffic delays. Temporary traffic signals will direct traffic.

Also along SH 11 in Hopkins County, perimeter signs for an upcoming overlay project will be installed from 1.5 miles east of FM 3134 to 0.82 miles east of FM 2653. Again, lane closures and short traffic delays should be expected.

From the Titus County line to the Hunt County line on Interstate 30 through Hopkins and Franklin counties, crews will be upgrading a metal beam guard fence. Watch for lane closures and short traffic delays.

On FM 900 in Hopkins County from I-30 to the Franklin County line, watch for lane closures and short traffic delays as crews install drainage structures.

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.
