TxDOT-Tyler

Congrats to Palestine Maintenance supervisor Steven Thornton on celebrating 15 years with @txdot! We are so lucky to have him leading our crews in Anderson County!

Beginning Monday, March 16, contractor crews will close the westbound, outside lane of I-20 at US 259 in Gregg County. Work is expected to take approximately three days to complete. The one-lane closure will be a 24-hour closure as crews perform maintenance on the bridge. Motorists are asked to plan ahead and drive with caution through the work zone.

Several roads are experiencing high water in Van Zandt County, including FM 1395, FM 859, and FM 47. Remember: NEVER drive through a flooded roadway—it only takes a few inches of water to sweep a vehicle away. Stay weather-aware and check DriveTexas.org for updated road conditions.

Before, during and after the storm, our crews were out across the state in response to winter weather. We're grateful to our employees who are always prepared to put in the long hours to keep Texas roads safe and passable.

Grateful for the members of the @TxDOTPharr District who traveled up to help us tackle this winter storm. Your hard work and teamwork mean the world to the Tyler District and East Texas! Thank you for having our back. ❄️🙏

HEADING HOME. #TxDOT Pharr crews responding to winter weather in @TxDOTTyler have completed their assignment and will return home Wednesday. Locally, the Pharr District is on weather watch for a second strong cold front, arriving in South Texas this weekend.

❄️ Freezing Fog Advisory ❄️ Thunder sleet and now THIS....Wednesday morning, supercooled fog can freeze on roads, sidewalks, vehicles, creating black ice—hard to see and dangerous if you hit it. ⚠️ Remember to: 🚗Slow down 🚗Increase following distance 🚗Use caution on bridges & overpasses Stay alert. Stay safe. #txwx #DriveLikeATexan

Even though a lot of roads are looking good this Tuesday morning, there can still be patches of ice on side streets and backroads. Especially be cautious where trees cover the road. #txwxsy

Please, if you get out today, give room to our crews, first responders, and utility workers. We all want to get home safe.

Crews continue to plow and de-ice on roadways throughout the district. We continue to encourage you to stay home if you can. If you must get out, drive slow and give our crews room. Also, watch out for fallen trees and/or limbs. #txwx
