Road Report
PARIS — The Paris District of the Texas Department of Transportation, which includes Hopkins County, announced late Friday planned road work for this week.
These schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment failure or other unforeseen issues, according to Tim McAlavy, communications officer with Paris District TxDOT.
Along State Highway 11 from State Highway 19 White Oak Creek, crew will be replacing an existing drainage structure. Watch for lane closures and short traffic delays. Temporary traffic signals will direct traffic.
Crews will also be installing draining structures on FM 900 from Interstate 30 to the Franklin County line. Drivers are advised to watch for lane closures.
Also on I-30, expect lane closures and short traffic delays as crews upgrade metal beam guard fencing. This will be through Hopkins and Franklin counties, from the Titus County line to the Hunt County line.
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.
