The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to perform routine road maintenance next week on Business SH 114, in the city of Levelland, with work beginning on West Avenue and continuing through East Houston Street towards Avenue H/FM300. Work is schedule to take place Monday, March 6 and Tuesday, March 7.
The scrub seal operations will require various daytime lane closures. Drivers should anticipate slow moving traffic and delays.
Then on Sunday, March 12, crews will continue scrub seal operations on FM 300, and includes the area from the Avenue H/Houston Street intersection south to 8th Street. The work will require the road to be closed to all traffic and will limit access to downtown Levelland.
Scrub sealing operations consist of applying a layer of asphalt or emulsion to the roadway, followed by sand or a small aggregate on top to fill in cracks on the roadway’s surface. The operation is a cost-effective way to prevent water from entering the roadbed and extending the life of the roadway.
Motorists are advised to pay attention and slow down as they enter the work area for their safety and the safety of the crew. Work will take place weather permitting.
