LUFKIN – Mill and inlay work has begun on SL 287 West in Lufkin where there will be alternating lane closures for the remainder of the week and continuing through next week.
Work on the SL 287 West will be in various locations from SH 103 West to US 59 South through next week. Motorists should expect lane closures and possible delays through this area during work hours.

Mill and inlay is a roadway rehabilitation technique designed to upgrade the surface and extend the life of a roadway. Mill and inlay typically removes the top couple of inches of the road surface to remove imperfections and a new asphalt surface is placed that finishes the process.
This is a moving work zone and motorists are urged to reduce speed in the area, expect delays, obey all traffic control devices and stay alert to moving equipment and workers near the lanes of traffic.
