Safety lighting to be installed

ATLANTA – Lighting upgrades are scheduled to be installed at 19 intersections across the area starting in May, according to plans awarded in February by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

“The nighttime lighting systems to be installed are safety enhancements that will provide LED lighting to increase visibility and awareness of the intersection,” said TxDOT Atlanta District Director of Transportation Operations Christina Trowler.

Striping Technology, L.P. was awarded the project with a low bid of $1,297,721. Work is expected to begin in April and take about 15 months to complete. The estimated completion date is subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. In Cass County the lighting will be added to State Highway (SH) 8 at SH 11.
