LUFKIN – Crews are scheduled next week to replace striping on the concrete pavement at the US 59 and BU 59/SL 287 South Interchange in Lufkin. The work is scheduled to be done at night, with minimal work conducted during the day.
Motorists should plan for slight delays and detours if traveling during work hours. The work on US 59 will be from the Tulane overpass to the Whitehouse overpass and will include frontage roads from SL 287 from the Tulane Bridge to the end of the concrete pavement. Existing striping will be removed, including stop bars and crosswalk striping. Each night through the week, crews will replace the striping that has been removed.
Stripe-A-Zone, Grand Prairie TX, will serve as contractor for the work that should be completed by Sept. 20, weather permitting.
“This is an extremely busy area with lots of traffic,” said Rhonda Oaks, public information officer. “Motorists are urged to reduce speed through the work zone if traveling during nighttime hours. There should be minimal impact to traffic during daytime hours. TxDOT urges motorists to expect delays, and obey all traffic control through this area.”
