Longview Street, Trail Closures Begin

LONGVIEW � The city of Longview is advising the public of some street and trail closures. Hollybrook construction continues to progress between Eastman (US 259) and Loop 281. The intersection of Mohawk and Hollybrook is now closed to through traffic between Mohawk and Loop 281. These closures will be in effect until the road construction is complete, which is scheduled for March 2014. Drivers wishing to travel between Eastman and Loop 281 must use alternate routes. Drivers may continue to access Hollybrook between J. L. Everhart Elementary School and Mohawk via Tryon Road.

This project was approved by voters as part of the Capital Improvements Bond Election in May 2011. In conjunction with the upcoming Magnolia Drive widening project, the street widening of Hollybrook Drive will provide a continuous four-lane route from Loop 281 to McCann Road along Hollybrook Drive and Magnolia Drive. The Hollybrook Drive project is being constructed by East Texas Bridge of Longview. If you have any questions related to construction, call the City�s Project Manager, Alton Bradley, at 903-237-1067.

Also, Cargill Trail is now closed between Eden Drive and Hollybrook Drive to allow a pipeline company to make planned repairs. The work is expected to take approximately two weeks. The trail south and north of this location will remain open.
