TxDOT: Project Updates
UNDATED - Here's a quick look at events and work planned in the Tyler District:

TxDOT plans work on Interstate 20
GREGG COUNTY – Beginning Tuesday, Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews are scheduled to begin several days of pavement repairs on Interstate 20 between SH 135 and the Smith County Line.
Also this week, in Longview, crews are scheduled to begin several days of seal coat work on South Loop 281 between FM 2205 (Jaycee Drive) and Estes Parkway. Crews will skip over the area near FM 2087 where the overpass is scheduled to be built. Once the work on Loop 281 is complete, crews are scheduled to perform the same work on FM 1845 between FM 2605 and the Upshur County Line, and in various intersections on Spur 63 in Longview.
Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress. Motorists should be prepared to reduce speed and merge in and around the work zone. Loose gravel may be present for several days following a seal coat application.

TxDOT continues work on FM 1716
RUSK COUNTY -- Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to continue resurfacing operations in various locations on FM 1716 between Fm 782 and FM 2011. The work is being done in preparation for a seal coat application later this summer.
Also this week, construction crews are scheduled to begin work to build an overpass for FM 1798 to go over US 259 south of Henderson.
Looking ahead, beginning June 4, construction crews are scheduled to begin work to rebuild US 84 between Reklaw and FM 2753. The project will call for US 84 to be closed to all traffic during the work, so marked detours will be in place.
Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers and pilot vehicles will control traffic.

TxDOT plans work in Mount Selman
MOUNT SELMAN -- Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to perform pavement repair operations on FM 177 in Mount Selman.
Also this week in Cherokee County, resurfacing operations are scheduled to continue on US 175 between FM 855 and SH 155 in Frankston. The project is scheduled to continue through mid-June.
Also of interest to motorists who use US 84, beginning June 4, construction crews are scheduled to begin work to rebuild US 84 between Reklaw and FM 2753. The project will call for US 84 to be closed to all traffic during the work, so marked detours will be in place.
Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid delays.

TxDOT continues work in Van Zandt County
VAN ZANDT COUNTY -- Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to begin base and pavement-repair operations on FM 1653 between SH 64 and FM 858 in Martins Mill. A second crew is scheduled to perform resurfacing operations on SH 110 north of Van.
Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic.
Also this week, lane-width restrictions and a 45 mph project speed limit begin this week on the construction project to add shoulders to FM 17 north of Canton in the area. Motorists are encouraged to use caution in and around the work zone.

TxDOT plans work in Henderson County
HENDERSON COUNTY -- Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to perform resurfacing operations on FM 317 between SH 31 just east of Loop 7 in Athens, and FM 607 in Leagueville.
Daytime lane closures will be in effect while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic in two-lane areas.
Also this week, construction crews on the SH 198 bridge project near Gun Barrel City have opened both northbound lanes in the construction zone, and plan to have both southbound lanes open by the end of next week.
