The I-69 Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties Scoping Study will, with substantial citizen and community participation, determine a recommended option for upgrading US 59 to interstate standards, with the eventual goal of designating and signing US 59 as I-69.

The study includes two broad options for consideration:

• Upgrade the existing US 59 roadway and expand it to meet present and future needs.
• Build relief routes around Nacogdoches and Lufkin and Diboll.

The final recommendation may be one option or the other or a combination of the two.

Get Involved

Please attend a public open house to learn more about the I-69 Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties Scoping Study.

The I-69 Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties Committee, a citizen-led local stakeholder committee, began meeting in December 2012. The committee is reviewing the US 59 "Upgrade" and "New Location" options and talking with the community and neighbors about their opinions and concerns. The recommendations of the committee, along with citizen input, will guide TxDOT on future I-69 project development.

Comments about the options can be submitted online or by mail to:
