Texas highway will be closed down temporarily to remove asbestos paint from overpass
The Texas Department of Transportation is closing down US 75 intermittently, two lanes at a time, while a contractor works to remove asbestos-containing paint from the overpass at Plano’s Parker Road. Weather conditions will affect how quickly the work can be completed. Contractors will not be able to work if winds are over 25 miles an hour or rain is expected. Paint on roadways in generally removed by sandblasting, but to avoid asbestos exposure to the public, the contractor will use a chemical application to remove the paint. Also, the work will be performed between 8:00 p.m. and 4:30 a.m., when traffic is lightest. The air will be monitored in and around the work zone.
