Texas Department of Transportation contractor, Longview Bridge and Road, enforced a safety zone during work so no public access was allowed in the area. It became a necessity because according to TxDOT, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers required the bridge removal after the new bridge was built. The contractor has been working on its removal since November of last year.
