Summary

Texas roads are literally melting under record heat, with sections of US 69 between Greenville and Celeste turning into gooey asphalt that stuck to cars, ripped wires, and sent chunks flying—truckers say they’ve never seen anything like it. TxDOT confirmed extreme temps caused the pavement to soften so much drivers could leave fingerprints. Emergency patches were made, but a major repair project kicks off Monday, July 13th, with flaggers and delays expected. Drivers in the area are urged to slow down, watch for signs, and stay alert as crews work to fix the crumbling infrastructure.
