March 3, 2016 LUFKIN – The boat ramp on US 84 at the TX/LA state line in Haslam will be opened on weekends beginning this weekend as construction continues on the US 84 bridge that crosses the Sabine River.

The ramp will remain closed during weekday demolition of the existing bridge, since traffic is now traveling on the newly constructed eastbound bridge. Once the demolition is complete and construction of the new westbound bridge begins, there are plans to open the boat ramp daily but boaters could experience intermittent closures throughout the construction project.
