Tech Drive To Stay Two Lanes From Uy To I 20
Highway board member J C Howard says Tech Drive from Uy near Uy to Interstate 20 will remain two lanes with minor widening and added right of way in places. No four-lane plan due to traffic, and safety measures include no parking signs and straightening a dangerous curve near the railroad and Grambling blacktop. The route through the underpass will gain clearance and likely be widened slightly while preserving access for nearby homes and businesses.
