The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to perform routine road maintenance next week on SH 214, from US 82/380 in the city of Plains to Denver City. The seal coat operation will require various daytime lane closures with a pilot car guiding motorists through the work zone. Drivers should anticipate slow moving traffic and delays.
Seal coating provides a variety of benefits to the roadway including a waterproof surface that prevents moisture from entering and weakening the roadbed. Seal coating also reduces deterioration and cracking of the asphalt surface, which prolongs the life of the pavement.
Motorists are advised to pay attention and slow down as they enter the work area for their safety and the safety of the workers. Work will take place weather permitting.
