March 18, 2026 – PARIS – Over 100 miles of Northeast Texas Roadways will receive new surfaces
Starting next week, according to plans awarded last winter by the Texas Department of
Transportation.
Contractor Clark Construction of San Antonio, TX was awarded the contract to seal coat
highways in all nine counties within the Paris District with a low bid of $12.9 million. The
Paris District includes Grayson, Fannin, Hunt, Rains, Hopkins, Franklin, Lamar, Delta,
and Red River counties.
The project consists of seal coat and striping. Various lane closures are to be expected
throughout project duration. Motorists who travel frequently in these areas are asked to
pay special attention to all barricades, traffic controls and signs, and to 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.
See the attached list for highways that are scheduled to be resurfaced. The projected
start date is April 13. Once underway, the project is expected to be completed by
the end of summer, weather permitting.
