October 20, 2015 - LUFKIN – The public is being given the opportunity to request a public hearing regarding an upcoming Texas Department of Transportation project on FM 2609/East Austin Street.
TxDOT, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the City of Nacogdoches, is proposing to widen FM 2609/East Austin Street between Raguet Street and North Street in Nacogdoches, consisting of about one-fourth of a mile.
October 14, 2015 - LUFKIN – TxDOT reminds motorists attempting to exit US 59 and continue westbound on SL 224 or continue on to US 59 North in Nacogdoches that traffic patterns have changed.
Webber LLC, contractor for the $5.9 million project, redirected traffic last week which included the closure of the cloverleaf entry ramp that exited from the outside lane of US 59. The newly constructed exit has redirected traffic to the inside lanes of US 59, exiting onto SL 224 westbound/US 59 northbound.
September 1, 2015 LUFKIN - The Texas Transportation Commission last week approved 91 construction projects statewide totaling more than $535 million, and includes five within the Lufkin District that total $16.8 million.
Of the 91 projects, 22 were approved using $304 million of Proposition 1 funding. Two Lufkin District projects were included in the latest round of Proposition 1 funding and totaled $11.7 million. The funds are used for roadway construction, restoration and rehabilitation and will improve mobility, safety and connectivity.
