The Texas Department of Transportation commenced its summer sealcoat work in Lampasas last week. Here, TxDOT is working on FM 580 West to lay down a liquid asphalt layer on the roadway. The coating seals cracks, increases traction and helps prolong the life of the highway surface. Several other roadways in the county are scheduled for the sealcoating work. courtesy photo
