Routine maintenance planned for US 62/385

BROWNFIELD - The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is scheduled to perform routine road maintenance next week on US 62/385, from West Reppto Street to SH 137, in the city of Brownfield. Work is scheduled to take place Wednesday, March 18.

The scrub seal operations will require daytime lane closures and various short-term side street closures.. Drivers should anticipate slow moving traffic and delays.

Scrub sealing operations consist of applying a layer of asphalt or emulsion to the roadway, followed by sand or a small aggregate on top to fill in cracks on the roadway's surface. The operation is a cost-effective way to prevent water from entering the roadbed and extending the life of the roadway.

Motorists are advised to pay attention and slow down as they enter the work area for their safety and the safety of the crew. Work will take place weather permitting.
