State transportation agency pays tribute to collaborative history of moving people, goods across the Lone Star State
February 22, 2017 - On the brick street outside Nacogdoches City Hall, downtown Nacogdoches, Texas, a restored, 27-foot-long 1918 Liberty Truck will help tell the district-by-district story of TxDOT’s 100-year history at 2pm Tuesday, February 28, 2017. Along with the truck, the exhibit will feature historical photos, banners and backdrops highlighting significant dates and achievements.
The Texas Department of Transportation celebrates a century of service this year with a traveling exhibit and other events to highlight this ongoing and collaborative milestone.
From the earliest days of connecting farms and ranches to market, to the modern realities of multi-lane metropolitan highways, TxDOT now manages 80,000 miles of roadway. To commemorate this milestone, TxDOT invites the public to “Track the Truck” at TxDOT.gov/txdot100 and join in the celebration.
