Bowie County intersections to receive safety lighting

 

Plans for nine highway intersections in Northeast Texas to receive new safety lighting systems have been approved by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Nighttime lighting systems at the intersections will be installed that will have energy-efficient LED lighting and will better illuminate the roadways.

Lighting at intersections can reduce nighttime crashes up to 38 percent.

Texas Traffic Control Systems of Dike, Texas, was awarded the contract with a bid of $587,345.
