Commission Approves Increased Speed Limit in Zavalla

Date:

LUFKIN – In a Tuesday meeting, Texas Transportation Commissioners voted to approve a speed limit increase on a new section of US 69 roadway through Zavalla.

The new US 69 roadway, including a bridge constructed over US 63 in the city limits of Zavalla, was part of a major construction project recently completed. The speed will be increased from 55 miles per hour to 65 MPH as soon as signs are set. Signage is expected to be set indicating the new speed by mid-January.

The increased speed will be in effect on US 69 through the project limits, including a section of the city limits of Zavalla. Signs will be posted also alerting southbound motorists of the speed limit increase approaching US 69 from SH 63. The higher speed limit is enforceable once signs are set.
