TxDOT announced last week it has let an emergency contract for the repair work on the Turner-Hayden Road overpass on eastbound Interstate 20 in Van Zandt County. The $200,000, 24-day contract calls for replacing the two columns damaged by the wreck that occurred there on August 18. For more information on this contract, I spoke to Bryan Hodges, the Design engineer for the Tyler District, who was responsible for drafting the repair plans. ***Programming note: there will be no audio podcast posted for the week of September 8, but there will be a video featuring the best of txdot working for you. The audio podcast will return the week of September 15.***
