Construction to Begin on Diboll Relief Route
LUFKIN, TX — A pre-construction web-ex meeting was recently held, signaling the beginning of a new construction project in Angelina County.
Sacyr Engineering and Infrastructures, a global company with corporate headquarters located in Spain, will serve as contractor for the $140.1-million construction project. The project consists of construction of a new freeway location on US 59 in Angelina County, from FM 2108 to 1.1 mile south of White Oak Creek. Work will include construction of the new freeway and will include grading, structures, concrete pavement, and freeway signage. The eight-mile project is set for completion in five years.
Those attending the virtual meeting included Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) personnel, Sacyr Engineering and Infrastructures personnel, utility company and law enforcement representatives, and stakeholders representing the City of Diboll and the City of Burke. Discussions included the construction schedule, method of operations, and promoting greater safety during the construction.
“We are excited and proud to see this project begin,” said Rhonda Oaks, Public Information Officer. “There will be very little disruption to traffic during the first months of construction as the new the roadway is built on the east side of Diboll. With heavy equipment and workers in the area around Diboll and Burke, motorists are advised to stay alert at all times.”
