It can be said that Tyler has a traffic problem! Some areas of town are more worse than others, though. One of the worst areas, in my opinion, is Old Jacksonville Highway (FM 2493).
The City Of Tyler's Traffic division will be working on the traffic signals at one of the city's busiest intersections Friday morning (Aug. 7) to conduct emergency repairs to a signal light pole.
Traveling between Flint and Gresham could become less congested thanks to a widening project that is proposed for Old Jacksonville Highway, or FM 2493.
A couple of weeks ago between the rounds of rain, the sun actually came out and it got quite warm (into the low 90s), and when this happened it heated up the road surface of Rice Road so much so that when I was driving, it sounded like it was freshly laid oil.
