TYLER — Here’s a quick look at other work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.

LONGVIEW – Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews on Monday are scheduled to close part of Callahan Road, or the South Interstate Highway 20 Access Road, between its intersection with State Highway 149 (Eastman Road) and the Eastbound IH 20 onramp while crews perform pavement repairs in that location. The closure and subsequent work will not begin until after 9:00am.

“It’s unusual that we’d completely close a roadway while we make repairs,” said TxDOT spokesman Larry Krantz. “But in this case, it’s the best and safest option for everyone. We’re hoping we’re finished by Monday evening so the closure will only be for a day.”

Traffic wishing to access businesses in the work area will be allowed to do so, but thru-traffic will be directed to take a marked detour. The detour takes traffic west along the westbound frontage road, then to the Eastbound IH 20 onramp at State Highway 322 (Estes Parkway). Motorists attempting to access the Eastman Chemical complex from eastbound IH 20 should use Exit 599 (East Loop 281) and take the south frontage road to the main entrance. Once the work at Callahan Road is complete, crews will resume work on various entrance and exit ramps in the Longview area throughout the week.

HENDERSON COUNTY –Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to continue pavement-repair operations on Farm Road 2636 south of Malakoff between Farm Road 3441 and the end of state maintenance. Daytime lane closures will be in effect while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic. TxDOT continues work in Cherokee County

CHEROKEE COUNTY – Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews this week are scheduled to continue resurfacing operations in various locations on State Highway 204 between U.S. Highway 84 and the Nacogdoches County Line. A second crew is scheduled to continue shoulder work on Farm Road 855 between U.S.Highway 69 in Mount Selman and U.S. Highway 175 near Cuney. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic. Work continues in Wood County

WOOD COUNTY – TxDOT contract crews this week are scheduled to continue base and pavement repairs on Farm Road 2966 between State Highway 154 in Yantis and Loop 173 in Quitman. The work is being done in preparation for a seal coat application next summer. Also this week, TxDOT maintenance crews are scheduled to continue base repairs and resurfacing work in various locations on Farm Road 1801 east of Mineola, and edge work on Farm Road 1643 southwest of Winnsboro between Farm Road 515 and State Highway 37. Daytime lane closures will be in effect in each location while the work is in progress, and flaggers will control traffic.
