New pavement markings to be added to area highways

New pavement markings will be added to 35 area highways in the coming months, according to plans awarded in January by the Texas Department of Transportation.

“We will be applying thermoplastic pavement markings to areas that were resurfaced last summer,” said Christina Trowler, Director of Traffic Operations. “If the roadway does not currently have rumble strips, we will be placing rumble strips as an added safety feature to reduce roadway departure crashes.”

Counties with highways receiving new pavement markings include Bowie, Cass, Camp, Harrison, Marion, Morris, Panola, Titus and Upshur.

Stripe-A-Zone, LLC of Grand Prairie was awarded the contract for the construction on these projects with a bid of $2,925,770.

Work on the projects is expected to begin in April and take about six months to complete, weather permitting.
