No traffic will be allowed to cross between SCR 372 and SCR 239. Crews are scheduled to be at work in this location 24 hours per day during the closure to limit the amount of time the roadway is closed. The work is the first phase of a larger construction project designed to widen and resurface the roadway between Farm Road 850 near Tyler and State Highway 31 near Country Tavern in Gregg County.
