The closures will facilitate pavement grinding to prepare for roadway resurfacing as part of the 183 North Mobility Project. According to the release, closures will occur nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
The work will begin southbound on US 183 and continue in 2-mile segments, according to the release. Night lighting will be used to keep workers safe, and the noise level is anticipated to stay within Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines and to be about the sound of a garbage truck, according to the release.
This first step of the resurfacing project is called Next Generation Surface Grinding and is a texture treatment that "can be utilized for both new construction and rehabilitation of existing surfaces," according to a report by the Texas Department of Transportation.
This process improves skid resistance, promotes better drainage, and makes the roadway more consistent and level for a safer and more comfortable ride, according to the release.
