Loop 281 Reopened Between Hollybrook and Tryon Road

LONGVIEW — Downed power lines due to a fallen tree cause some major traffic issues in Longview. East Loop 281 between Eastman and Hollybrook was shut down for hours. Longview Police say that segment is now open — but the Tryon Rd. exit on both the north and south sides of the Loop remains closed. Drivers are used to take an alternate route as needed. For access to J.L. Everhart Elementary School, parents and staff are asked not to attempt to use the Tryon Road entrance. According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, the Loop problem is just one of several downed tree incidents that emerged in the Longview area over the rainy weekend.
