Gay Avenue Bridge Work Awaited By City Manager
City Manager Tony Williams said a work order for the Gay Avenue bridge is pending after talks with the Texas Highway Department. The contract was approved September 25 with about a two week delay before work orders. Construction will require 45 working days once begun, with a resident engineer from Longview overseeing. A test piling will precede full construction to assess soil resiliency, and material orders will start during this period. Williams cautioned progress may look quiet but work is advancing.
