TYLER — Here’s a quick look at other work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
LONGVIEW – Construction crews from Texas Department of Transportation contractor Longview Bridge & Road on Monday are scheduled to begin final resurfacing operations Monday on State Highway 149 (Eastman Road) and State Highway 322 (Estes Parkway) between Interstate Highway 20 and Sysco Foods.
The work is scheduled to take approximately two weeks to complete, with the first week of work taking place on Estes Parkway and the second on Eastman Road. Crews will begin by closing the inside lanes and center turn lane on Estes Parkway for resurfacing work, including overnight lane closures through Wednesday, before swapping traffic into the inside lanes midweek so work can be done on the outside lanes.
Some weekend work may be performed as well to ensure the job is completed before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Once the work on Estes Parkway has been completed, crews will move to close the inside lanes on Eastman Road and begin the same process there. One lane will be open to traffic in each direction while the lane closures are in place. Some turns may be restricted while work is performed directly in front of driveways or in the center turn lane.
Motorists are strongly encouraged to use caution in the work area, and seek an alternate route if possible to avoid delays.
Also this week in Longview, TxDOT maintenance crews are scheduled to complete base and pavement repair work on Spur 502 (Judson Road) between Loop 281 and U.S. Highway 80 (Marshall Avenue), then move to Spur 502 between Loop 281 and U.S. Highway 259 north of Longview. Daytime lane closures will be in effect while the work is in progress. Motorists are
encouraged to seek alternate routes if possible to avoid delays.

A second crew is scheduled to perform pavement repairs on Interstate Highway 20 near the US 69 and Lavender Road exits.
