HUNTSVILLE — A work crew from A.L. Helmcamp Inc. of Buffalo resurfaces the inside lane of Interstate 45 west frontage road near the Smither Overpass intersection Monday afternoon. Helmcamp has been working to resurface both lanes of the frontage road between state Highway 30 and state Highway 19 for several months, in addition to construction and refurbishing entrance and exit ramps in the area. The work is part of $13.7 million Texas Department of Transportation project to refurbish the frontage road completely, and convert it to permanent one way operation. The work, all scheduled to be done by Helmcamp, is expected to be completed in the summer of 2011.
