August 5, 2011 By justinholland 1 Comment

The hours temporarily approved for construction work that includes preparing and pouring concrete for the northern section of FM-740 are 8pm to 7am in addition to regular daytime hours. The time period for the temporary approval spans Sunday August 21 to Thursday, September 1.

**The City Council has taken every step possible to ensure that the contractor will make every effort to use low-noise equipment and vehicles, and direct lighting away from residential areas and toward the construction area.

A map of the affected area can be viewed on the Heath website under the “740 update” section.

FM-740 Road Consruction

August 2, 2011 By justinholland 1 Comment

Extreme heat and conditions have caused construction delays in the northern section road expansion of FM-740. Concrete cannot be poured above a determined temperature and other conditions and still meet TxDot standards. The Texas Department of Transportation has requested noise ordinance variances from both the City of Heath and the City of Rockwall in order to complete the project during overnight and Sunday hours. Ed Bell Construction estimates that the improvements to the road can be finished prior to September 1, 2011. For questions or concerns, please contact your city offices.
