LUFKIN – The Lufkin District will hold a Public Meeting on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 5-7 pm at the Polk County Commerce Center, 1017 US 59 Loop North, Livingston TX.

The proposed project in Livingston is designed as a US 59 upgrade (future I-69) in Polk County. It will include the construction of cable barrier-divided main lanes along US 59 that consist of four 12-foot-wide travel lanes, two in each direction, 6-foot inside shoulders, and 12-foot outside shoulders. Frontage road construction will include two 12-foot-wide travel lanes 4-foot-wide inside shoulders and 10-foot-wide outside shoulders. Improvements will also include newly constructed interchanges on US 59, at FM 1988, and US 190.
The proposed project is anticipated to enhance safety, improve mobility and connectivity, provide a more efficient hurricane evacuation route, and provide system connectivity to Interstate 69.
Comments may be submitted by mail to the TxDOT Lufkin District Office, 1805 N. Timberland Drive, Lufkin, TX 75901. Written comments may also be submitted by email to Jennifer.Adams@txdot.gov.
