Lamar County, Paris, Texas
Dear Mr. Ekstrom:
Due to unforeseen conflicts with existing city utili ties
it is respectfully requested that the typical pavement section
be reduced to 43'- 0" back of curb to back.of curb.
This allows 2 - 12' travel lanes and 2 - 9' shoulders
which is in keeping with TxDOT standards.
We look forward to a successful project.
