| "The Holiday Homestretch" – Week of November 30, 2009 The Texas Department of Transportation, in conjunction with Smith County, will be closing SCR 196 on Monday, November 30, between SCR 1101 and SCR 198 to allow for the construction of a bridge as a part of the ongoing Loop 49 construction. The closure is expected to last approximately eight months, and motorists are encouraged to begin planning alternate routes in advance of the closure.
