$18.4M North Texas Pavement Package Reaches Bid Stage
An I-45-led package includes pavement preservation across multiple highways and counties. The advertised 34.014-mile total should not be treated as one continuous I-45 construction segment.
A TxDOT pavement-preservation package led by I-45 work in Ellis County reached its advertised October 7 bid date with an estimated value of $18.4 million. The package includes seal coat, pavement markings and milling and inlay of hot-mix asphalt.
The advertisement covers multiple control sections and roads across the Dallas District. Its 34.014-mile listed length should not be simplified into a claim that all work is on a single continuous stretch of I-45.

Award verification is the next milestone
The advertised contract time is 241 working days. That is not a calendar completion date and does not establish when traffic-control operations will begin. Those details depend on the awarded contract and subsequent instructions.
This update records the solicitation rather than assigning a construction winner. The official bid tabulation, award and notice to proceed will establish the price, responsible contractor and mobilization sequence. Until those are checked, the estimate remains a procurement benchmark rather than a confirmed spend.
