The City of La Grange would like to give advance notice of road repairs at the intersection of Highway 71 Business and Washington St next week on Tuesday, August 18th, from approximately 6 am to Noon. To complete the work safely, the eastbound lane of Highway 71 Business will be closed between Main St and Highway 77, with traffic transitioning to one-way. Additional closures will take place along S Washington St down to Crockett St, and at the intersection of N Washington St and Highway 71 Business. Though S Washington St will be closed off to traffic, the Public Parking Lot will remain accessible from Crockett St.
We recognize this work coincides with ongoing TXDOT construction on Highway 77, which may result in heavier-than-normal traffic in the area. Due to last week's water main leak, these repairs need to be completed as soon as possible to prevent any further deterioration of the roadway. Motorists are encouraged to allow for extra travel time, use an alternate route when possible, and follow all posted traffic control devices. Please see the attached map for full details of closure limits and suggested alternate routes for accessing Downtown via Colorado St or traveling east through town via Crockett St.
Finally, while access patterns may change during these repairs, we encourage residents to continue supporting local businesses in proximity to the project area and plan their visits accordingly.
For any questions, please contact City Hall at (979) 968-5805.
We appreciate your patience as these necessary repairs are completed.
