All 9 nine counties ready for storm says TxDOT
WICHITA FALLS DISTRICT : Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Montague, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young Counties – TxDOT crews spent today pretreating bridges and overpasses across our nine counties. With the potential for freezing precipitation starting early tomorrow morning, all crews have plans to start 12-hour around the clock shifts tonight or early tomorrow. Bridges were pretreated with brine. All trucks have their snowplows attached and have been filled with salt, sand, and brine. TxDOT is using brine as the pretreatment as well as on top of snow and ice to precipitate melting. Motorists are reminded that rain will wash away the benefits of our brine pretreatment. Ice and sleet can also coat a roadway very quickly with slick ice. Drivers should use extreme caution. And stay at home unless you must get out for work or an emergency. TxDOT takes care of the Interstates, US highways, State highways, and FM roads. We will be servicing nearly 6,500 lane miles in nine counties
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
