No timeline for completion has been set.
Maintenance projects approved included traffic control services in various counties throughout the district. Area Wide Protective, Inc., North Canton OH, will serve as contractor for $1.3 million in traffic control services throughout Shelby, Nacogdoches, Sabine, and San Augustine counties.
