In a recent update, the Lufkin Police Department has reported flooding on 1.23.24 Loop 287, particularly under the Tulane Drive overpass. The eastbound side, specifically the lane heading toward Chestnut Street, is currently flooded. However, it's worth noting that the left lane remains passable. Law enforcement officers are actively monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of motorists attempting to navigate through the affected area.

Authorities advise residents to stay at home if possible, especially during the evening. For those who must venture out, a cautious approach is essential. Drivers are urged to slow down and anticipate potential delays due to the challenging road conditions. Although the intensity of the rainfall appears to be subsiding momentarily, the community is urged to remain vigilant as more heavy rain is anticipated overnight. The hope is that floodwaters will recede before the impending rainfall intensifies.
