TYLER – Old Bascom Road will remain closed while\u00a0crews\u00a0complete drainage repairs and prepare for a full road reconstruction project. The road has been closed since May 22 while crews replace collapsed tin culverts with new concrete box culverts. The ongoing culvert replacement is expected to take about three more weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the replacement work, it was\u00a0determined\u00a0that Old Bascom Road must be reconstructed before reopening. Once the culvert work is complete, the City has contracted Reynolds & Kay\u00a0to begin the rehabilitation project.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The project for Old Bascom Road is from 800 feet east of Southwood Drive to 790 feet west of Old Omen Road. The work will include pulverizing the existing pavement and subgrade, stabilizing the pulverized mix with cement, and placing six inches of new asphalt pavement. <\/p>\n
The project also includes widening the road to a consistent 28 feet, which will require\u00a0ditchline\u00a0adjustment work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The full project is\u00a0anticipated\u00a0to be completed by late October 2026.\u00a0Drivers should expect delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes. Message boards, barricades, and closure signs will be placed throughout the project area.\u00a0
