TYLER — Here’s a quick look at events and work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
SMITH COUNTY — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to perform resurfacing operations in various locations on Interstate Highway 20 service roads across Smith County. Daytime lane closures will be in effect while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic in two-lane areas.
GREGG COUNTY — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to perform seal-coat operations on State Highway 149 between State Highway 322 in Lakeport and Farm Road 2906 (Easton Road).

Also this week in Longview, after a last-minute delay, the newly-installed traffic signals on State Highway 300 at George Richie Road and Cheryl Street are scheduled to be activated as early as Wednesday. Motorists are encouraged to use caution in and around newly signalized intersections.
VAN — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to begin resurfacing efforts on the westbound Interstate Highway 20 exit at Farm Road 314 in Van.
