LUFKIN - TxDOT officials have announced seal coating applications in Nacogdoches County on ramps between US 59 and US 259 on Wednesday and Thursday, July 22-23. The closures will include all ramps with the exception of the cloverleaf entry/exit ramps.

Each ramp scheduled for seal coating will be closed approximately two hours while the coating is applied. Traffic will be diverted during the closures and motorists should remain alert to work crews and be prepared to reduce speed.

The work is a part of a 13.4 mile construction project on US 59 between US 259 and just south of Garrison. Part of US 259 will be undergoing mill and inlay work, with the entire length of the project receiving a surface treatment.

Drewery Construction, contractor for the $3.3 million project, is scheduled to complete the project by mid-August.
