The Texas Department of Transportation is celebrating a century of service this year with a traveling exhibit which includes a refurbished 27 foot long 1918 Liberty Truck and other transportation memorabilia. The San Angelo District, in partnership with the Ozona Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, will host a community event on Friday, May 19, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in celebration of the occasion.
Festivities will begin at the Chamber’s Plaza, 505 15th St. in Ozona, with remarks from Crockett County Judge Fred Deaton, San Angelo District Engineer Mark Jones, and retired Sonora Resident Engineer Joe Lane. Mr. Lane is the only surviving resident engineer who oversaw the building of Interstate 10. Following these remarks, guests will be invited into the Chamber to view two videos about the centennial. One video features the history of the agency for the last 100 years and the other features the history of the San Angelo District with interviews from retired and current employees.
TxDOT would like individuals to sign the centennial poster, take a selfie with “Miss Liberty”, and enjoy light refreshments. The event will also feature lots of old photographs and exhibits. “Share a Memory” cards will be available for guests to write a memory of TxDOT. These cards will be placed in a time capsule later this year at the district headquarters in San Angelo, to be opened in 50 years.
