LUFKIN - Two county roads are set to be closed in Shelby County as Texas Department of Transportation contractors prepare to replace two off-line county bridges.

Stateline Construction, contractor for the $552,047 project, will close the bridges beginning Tuesday on County Road 4256 at the tributary of Flat Fork Creek and County Road 4670 at McFadden Creek.

The bridge replacement projects are expected to be completed in early February, weather permitting, and both roads will be closed until the projects are finished. Bridge approaches, railings and metal beam guard fencing will also be replaced at both locations.

Motorists are urged to be aware of the road closures and plan alternate routes until work is completed. Stay alert to workers and heavy equipment in these and all construction areas. Motorists should observe all signage and workers who might be in the area.
