phalt on tlie section from Lit-
tle Bear Creek to Harwood
Road. Work on one lane on the
east side is complkted; work
on the other four lanes will be-
gin today.
Construction should take
less than a week.
"It was starting to show
some signs of deterioration,
and it is a major roadway and
we want to catch it before it got
into bad shape," Public Works
Director Ron Young said. "It
will provide a smoother riding.
surgce and extend the life d
it."
The city will pay $250,000
for materials. Tarrant County
will provide labor and equip-
ment.
The portion of M& Street
south of Texas 10 was repaved
a couple of years ago. The
stretch north of Little Bear
Creek is concrete and does not
need to be repaved, officials
said. The portion from Har-
wood to Texas 10 is also con-
crete and was repaved four
years ago.
