Traffic Switch Planned in Polk County

Date:

LUFKIN – Crews will switch traffic on US 190 beginning Monday, March 25, weather permitting, to allow motorists to use the newly constructed bridge sections at Choates Creek and Menard Creek in Polk County.

The bridge sections are part of a $29 million construction project on US 190 that is designed to widen the roadway, and bridges and add safety improvements from the Livingston city limits to 4 miles west of FM 1276. Vulcan Construction, San Antonio TX, is serving as a contractor.

Traffic will remain in this new pattern until the completion of this project when it will be switched to the final configuration, which is expected in the coming months. Motorists are urged to stay alert for the traffic switch, reduce speed through the work zone, and obey all traffic control.
