One of the worst, most traveled roads in the Cedar Creek Lake area is County Road 4006, according to area residents.

Improvements are coming, but they won't happen overnight, according to Kaufman County Precinct 4 Commissioner Tom Manning.

Manning said he gets emails and phone calls daily about the improvements to the road that are scheduled as a result of the $56 million road bond improvements that Kaufman County residents approved in the November 2013 election.

"It's going to be taken care of," Manning said in a recent interview. "It just takes time."

Manning said the road will be improved as part of a project authorized by Kaufman County, the Texas Department of Transportation and the City of Mabank.

Mabank officials are in charge of bidding out the project, Manning said.

Manning will be leaving office at the end of the year, but he said that will have no effect on the reconstruction of CR 4006. He said that it is a "done deal," and that the road will be repaired regardless of who holds the Precinct 4 Commissioner's office.

"I want to see the road repaired as much as everyone else does," Manning said.
