Several locations across the Odessa District will see improvements as part of a maintenance contract. Essentially, the top layers of asphalt will be cut away and replaced under this contract. 

The work will be done at night, so if the schedule says work is on a Monday, it starts Monday evening and lasts until early Tuesday morning before peak travel times begin. While the schedule may change due to weather or other unforeseen events, the following locations are scheduled on the following dates:
