SMITH COUNTY – Smith County Fire Marshal Chad Hogue was called out around 3 p.m. Tuesday due to an gas leak on CR 2162, near Troup. Hogue said the portion of CR 2162 closed is about one-half mile east of CR 135 between Arp and Troup. Smith County Road and Bridge crews put traffic barricades in place to divert traffic.
The Texas Railroad Commission is working to find an old Legacy Oil Well head. Crews on location have already dug a massive hole. They plan on bringing larger equipment Friday to dig deeper, find the oil well head casing and seal it with concrete. In the meantime, watch for workers in the area and drive safely.
