The Texas Transportation Commission recently approved $2.2 million project for an asphaltic concrete pavement overlay on US 287 in Donley County in an ongoing effort to improve safety.
J. Lee Milligan, Inc. of Amarillo, TX is the contractor for this project. This project will begin at the Armstrong County line and continue to the Clarendon west city limits, in the southbound lanes only.
“Safety is the top priority at TxDOT and the basis for planning, building, and maintaining our transportation systems,” said Marty Smith, TxDOT’s Childress District Engineer. “Keeping travelers moving safely and efficiently will continue to be an ongoing priority as Texas welcomes nearly 1,000 newcomers each day.”
“In a state as vast as Texas, it’s imperative to not only have reliable roadways connecting our rural and urban citizens, but also to be diligent in designing and maintaining them with safety in mind,” said Commissioner Fred Underwood, Texas Transportation Commission. “Keeping everyone safe on the road is our first priority. We must do everything we can to get the driving public safely to their destinations and home to their families at the end of the day.”
Construction for this project is expected to begin in the spring of 2014. A TxDOT spokesperson said the duration of the project won’t be known until a preconstruction meeting is held closer to the project start date.
