LUFKIN – Concrete beams are scheduled to be delivered for placement on the overpass of US 69 at SH 63 in Zavalla which will require temporary lane closures.

 

Arrival of the beams in the Lufkin District is expected on Wednesday and placement across SH 63 is scheduled to begin on Thursday, March 26, weather permitting. A lane closure will be utilized for placement of the beams and traffic control will be in place.

 

Lane closures could result in delays on SH 63 and US 69. Motorists are urged to reduce speed and use caution entering the work zone. Obey all traffic control and stay alert for workers and moving equipment through the area.

 

The work is part of a $72 million construction project that is designed to widen US 69 to a four-lane highway from FM 844 to FM 1270 in Zavalla and includes bridge construction on US 69 at SH 63, US 69 at Shawnee Creek, US 69 NB at Wetlands 1 and 2 north of SH 63, and Ramp C and Ramp D at Sandy Creek, south of SH 63.
