TxDOT maintenance crews will install new signs on State Hwy. 147 that will lower speed limits from 75 mph to 70 mph for a 4.8 mile section from San Augustine County to the Angelina County line.

In addition, the speed limit will change from 55 miles per hour to 60 miles per hour along a .20 mile section at the city limits of Broaddus.
