SH 7 at Lanana Creek bridge replacement
Project overview
TxDOT is proposing to replace the existing bridge on SH 7 (Main St) at La Nana Creek , which is adjacent to the La Nana Creek Trail and Master Gardeners Demonstration Garden, a City of Nacogdoches park.
Proposed improvements
The project would be designed to enhance safety by meeting current design standards and would include:
- Removing the existing bridge
- Constructing new bridge with four 12-foot-wide travel lanes, two 4-foot-wide shoulders, and 6-foot-wide sidewalks in each direction
- Providing bridge rails that will separate vehicular and pedestrian traffic
- Accommodating users of the Lanana Creek Trail by increasing clearance underneath the bridge
