Temporary Tyler Road Closures for Overlay

TYLER — Houston Street between Broadway and Beckham will have lane closures between 7:30 this morning and 5:00 this afternoon for asphalt overlay operations. Overlay operations provide a smoother ride for motorists; help preserve tires and provide a more efficient surface for rain run-off and drainage.

This closure will reroute buses and bus stops. The Tyler Transit Department advises transit riders, particularly those who use the Houston St. stops, to be aware of the following changes:
*The 1A Red Line will detour on Front Street.
*1A Red Line, serving the Medical District via Beckham, will not stop at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception or on Houston Street at Fannin Avenue.
*Two temporary stops will be added on Front Street at Fannin Avenue for those riders.

Operations will go back to normal tomorrow.

Although there will be thru traffic, delays are expected and it is asked that drivers use extreme caution while workers are present. Drivers utilizing these roads are encouraged to temporarily create alternate routes.
