Traffic Switch Planned Onto New Bridge In San Augustine County

Traffic will be switched this week on US 96 at Ayish Bayou, marking the completion of a new bridge in San Augustine County.
Beginning this week, Longview Bridge & Road, contractor for the $3.9 million construction project, will move traffic from the existing bridge to the newly constructed bridge on US 96 that spans Ayish Bayou. Motorists will be confined to one lane during the traffic switch. Two-way traffic is expected to be restored once the traffic switch has been completed.
The project was approved by Texas Department of Transportation Commissioners in 2015. Bids for the project were received in May 2015, Longview Bridge & Road was given a notice to proceed in July, and work began in November. Work on the project included the construction of the new bridge and approaches.
Motorists are urged to use caution as workers begin to move traffic to the new bridge. Obey all signage and flaggers in the area. Be alert to moving equipment and workers as motorists are moved to the new bridge.
