A virtual pre-construction meeting was held Monday that included TxDOT employees, contractors, stakeholders, leaders from Polk and San Jacinto counties and emergency management teams that signaled the beginning of an emergency contract for debris removal.

Work is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Polk County within the cities of Onalaska and Seven Oaks as crews begin removing debris through tornado-damaged areas. Work will begin in Texas Acres subdivision in Onalaska Tuesday and progress through other affected areas.

TOM-MAC Inc., Houston TX, will serve as the debris removal contractor and Neel-Schaffer, Jackson MS, will serve as debris monitoring contractor for the $7 million project.

As this work begins, motorists should remain alert and obey all traffic control set through each work zone. Never enter a work zone and stay alert for workers and moving equipment in the area.
