Be careful out there …

Press release issued today by the Texas Department of Transportation:

As families begin to travel to their July Fourth holiday destinations both near and far, TxDOT is urging motorists to be cautious and patient when traveling through construction work zones. Even though work may be halted on the US 59 project on Lufkin’s south side during the long weekend, motorists should keep safety in mind and be mindful of the varying detours and traffic control devices for this and all projects. According to TxDOT, the traveling public can expect short delays as traffic volume increases particularly in the northbound lanes of US 59 in the construction area. Some congestion can also be expected for those exiting US 59 going eastbound on Loop 287 with the reduction of that frontage road to one lane. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid the construction area whenever possible. TxDOT reminds motorists to remember the following tips to help keep Texas highways safe. • Buckle up. • Obey speed limits. • Don’t drink and drive. • Designate a driver. • Call a cab. • Spend the night where you are, if possible. Remember, traffic fines double when workers are present. For more information, call Kathi White, public information officer, at (936) 633-4395. Information about TxDOT is also available through the department’s Web site at www.txdot.gov.
