If you've traveled Old Jacksonville Hwy. (FM 2493) in Tyler, especially during peak hours, you know how congested that stretch of highway has become and its about to get a new lower speed limit.
The Texas Department of Transportation announced this morning the Texas Transportation Commission approved raising the speed limit from 70 to 75 mph on more than 1,500 miles of Interstate highways across the state. This will include more than 120 miles of Interstate 20 in East Texas.
