TxDOT PLANS OPEN HOUSE FOR FM 1878 BRIDGE REPLACEMENT LaNana Creek Bridge to be reconstructed

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will host an Open House to gain public input regarding the planned replacement of the LaNana Creek Bridge on FM 1878 from 4-7 pm on Dec. 6 in the Nacogdoches ISD Board Room at 420 S. Shawnee Street.
 
The proposed project to replace the LaNana Creek Bridge is designed to enhance safety. This project is located adjacent to Stephen F. Austin State University and within Pecan Park inside the city of Nacogdoches.
 
Proposed improvements include a four-span concrete slab beam bridge with concrete decking and drilled shafts; four 11-foot travel lanes; 5-foot paved shoulders that may be used by cyclists; 5-foot sidewalks on each side; and bridge railing that will separate vehicular and pedestrian traffic. With these improvements, bridge weight limits would be removed.
 
The new bridge will be built on the existing alignment with no impact to the creek or LaNana Creek Trail. During construction, the LaNana Creek Trail will be closed.
 
The public is invited to attend the Open House where TxDOT officials will be on hand to answer questions and hear public comments in a come-and-go style format.
 
The public may also provide comments at www.txdot.gov or view plans at http://preview.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/projects/studies/lufkin/lanana-creek.html. To see a complete list of projects in the Lufkin District, visit http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/projects/project-tracker.html.
