Public Thoughts Sought On a Highway Expansion

TYLER – A public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday to get citizen input on the proposed expansion of the Old Jacksonville Highway. The proposal calls for widening the existing four-lane roadway to six lanes with a raised median. Bike and pedestrian facilities will be proposed where possible. The project limits are from Loblolly Lane and Woodland Hills Drive, north of the Tyler loop, south to Saline Creek Road and Farm Road 2813. The come-and-go meeting will be held from 5:00 to 7:00pm at Tyler’s Harvey Convention Center.
