Culvert to be replaced near Bulcher
The contractor is expected to start work May 28 on replacing a culvert on Farm-to-Market Road 373, three miles east of FM 2382 in the Bulcher area.
FM 373 will be closed while the new culvert is installed. This construction is part of a $2.9 million project to widen culverts and portions of FM 373 from U.S. Highway 82 in Muenster to FM 2382 north of Saint Jo.
Officials with the Texas Department of Transportation said only local traffic will able to get into the immediate construction area. Residents on the west side of the culvert may use FM 2382 to get to their property, while neighbors on the east side will use FM 373.
Message boards will verify and warn motorists of the closure. The job is scheduled to start May 28 after it was delayed due to weather from its initial start on May 13. The project will continue until finished.
TxDOT officials emphasized this job is completely dependent on good weather. It will be rescheduled or take longer to complete if bad weather moves into the area.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
