TxDOT Paris District Weekly Road Report || March 31, 2025

March 31, 2025

 

Here’s a look at work planned in the district for the week starting March 31, 2025. These schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment failure, or other unforeseen issues. Motorists are advised to remain alert and pay special attention to all signs, barricades, and traffic controls, and reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.

*Safety Message: Flash Floods*

Flash flooding is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in Texas. If you encounter a flooded road, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”

· Never walk, swim, or drive through still or moving flood waters. The water may be hiding dangers such as debris, tree branches, power lines, or damage to the road. As little as six inches of fast-moving water can cause motorists to lose control of their vehicle, even a pickup truck or SUV.

· Stay informed about weather conditions when you are driving.

· Be especially careful driving at night when it can be harder to see flood dangers.

· If your vehicle stalls in deep water, leave it and move to higher ground if you can do so safely.
