The City of Lufkin is advising motorists of two temporary road closures over the next 48 hours in Downtown Lufkin.

Frank Avenue Closure on Wednesday Night

The first closure will start late Wednesday afternoon. The southernmost lane of the eastbound side of Frank Avenue will be temporarily shut down to accommodate the contractors in the continued demolition of the former jail facility adjacent to the roadway. To ensure public safety and efficient operations, City of Lufkin crews will close the designated lane at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, with plans to reopen it at approximately 10:00 PM that same evening.

Drivers are encouraged to slow down and observe warning signs in the area, or just use alternate routes and avoid the area altogether.
