The Texas Transportation Commission met Thursday and approved more than $395.9 million in construction projects statewide, with more than $1.7 million approved for the Lufkin District.

Houston County was approved for a construction project on SH 7 from .3 miles east of FM 227 to the Angelina County line that will include resurfacing and roadway restoration. Moore Brothers, Lufkin, will serve as contractor for the $1.1 million project. No timeline for completion has been set.

Commissioners also approved a $615,934 construction project earmarked for bridge maintenance in various locations districtwide. DBI Services, LLC, Hazleton PA, will serve as contractor for the project. No timeline for completion has been set.
