Road Closure Planned in Lufkin

Date:

LUFKIN – Beginning Monday, crews will start work on FM 2680/Allen Gin Road in Lufkin that will require the north end of the roadway to be closed for up to a week, weather permitting.

Crews will work on culverts throughout next week. During the closure, traffic will be detoured through Jackson Road to FM 2251/Sayers Street. Detour signs will be placed on SL 287 alerting traffic to the work. After crews complete the work on the culverts, the roadway will be opened and no further road closures are anticipated. Crews will then begin work to widen and resurface the roadway. Project completion is expected to be summer 2024.

Drewery Construction Company, Inc., Nacogdoches, will serve as a contractor for the $2.6 million project. Signage is set indicating the work and detour. Motorists should obey all traffic control and reduce speed near the area and through the work zone. Stay alert for workers and moving equipment.
