TxDOT says Loop 500 expansion project progressing despite hold-ups

TxDOT is saying the Loop 500 extension project in Center is progressing, despite delays due to utility conflicts.

 

TxDOT-Lufkin Public Information Officer Kathi White tells us the contractor is expecting to complete the new bridge deck at the Timber Rock Railroad next week, weather permitting.

 

he said James Contruction Group has finished construction on the majority of the base material for the pavement and will be ready to start applying the new surface along the entire length of the project from U.S. 96N to S.H. 7E within a month.

 

The almost $12 million project is expected to be completed in August 2015.

 

TxDOT says the proposed facility will reduce traffic congestion and improve safety in Center by providing large trucks, traveling public and evacuation traffic more efficient access to the major highways that are currently only accessible through town.
