Tyler Loop Congested

TYLER – Anyone who drives on Tyler’s Loop 323 can tell you how congested it can be. Now, a portion of the loop has made TxDOT’s list of the 100 most congested roads in the state. The section of the loop from South Broadway to University Boulevard ranks 54th on the list. TxDOT spokesman Larry Krantz tells KETK-TV “We’re actually outgrowing our transportation infrastructure.” Officials are encouraging drivers to use alternate routes, like the Grande extension. Krantz says they hope to be off of the list next year. Until then, he says they will try to work with the city and county to extend other roads in the city.
