ATLANTA – About 160 miles of Northeast Texas highways will receive new surfaces starting this month, according to plans awarded last fall by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Contractor Missouri Petroleum Products Company of Bullard, TX was awarded the contract to seal coat highways in all nine counties within the Atlanta District with a low bid of $10.8 million. The Atlanta District includes Bowie, Camp, Cass, Harrison, Marion, Morris, Panola, Titus and Upshur Counties.
“Seal coating a highway is a process that helps preserve the pavement structure,” said Rebecca Wells, District Engineer in Atlanta. The cost-effective operation involves placing a layer of hot asphalt over the old pavement and then covering it with crushed stone.
See the attached list for highways that are scheduled to be resurfaced starting this month. Once underway, the project is expected to be complete in about six weeks, weather permitting.
