Downtown Tyler construction update  

TYLER – The City of Tyler is advising drivers of new street closures and traffic pattern changes as construction continues across the Downtown area. City officials say these updates reflect work associated with both the ongoing Downtown Improvement Project and the Consent Decree Group 2 Capacity Improvements. 
 
Closures and traffic changes beginning Wednesday, Nov. 19. 
Bois D’Arc Avenue will be closed between Woldert Street and Elm Street from Wednesday, Nov. 19 through Friday, Nov. 21 for brick street removal.

The intersection of Elm Street and Spring Street will be closed beginning Wednesday, Nov. 19 for an estimated six weeks.

Spring Street, between Erwin Street and Elm Street, will be temporarily converted to two-way traffic for local access only, allowing movement into and out of the Spring Street parking lot.

Regular Erwin Street traffic will be routed north onto Spring Street during this closure period. 

Access to nearby businesses, parking areas, and sidewalks will remain available where possible. Drivers are encouraged to follow posted detour signs, allow extra travel time, and use alternate routes when possible while work is underway in the Downtown area. Free parking is available at the Fair Plaza Parking Garage, located at 208 S. College Ave., and the Smith County Parking Garage, located at 210 E. Ferguson St.
