All in one thread, specifically for these sections progress in East Texas

Looking and guessing who has done the most progress and could be done the soonest: Nacogdoches > Lufkin > Diboll > Corrigan

Wake me up when they upgrade US-290 between the state's largest city and growing capital into expressway standards if it interstate standards.

Giddings bypass, Elgin bypass, and Elgin-Manor freeway/tollway when?

The Corrigan bypass is in the early stages of construction. ROW clearing is visible in Google Earth imagery dated 8/2023. The Diboll bypass is farther along. Again, 8/2023 imagery in Google Earth shows the progress.

It looks like it's going to take several years to get the I-69 segment in Lufkin finished. US-59 South of Lufkin needs a lot of work (and a good number of properties removed). There is a lot of at-grade driveways onto the main lanes of the loop around Lufkin. Most of the work currently in progress is along the North side of the loop and US-59 going North out of Lufkin.

Nacogdoches is a big project too. A lot has been done on the South portion of the project. Overall, it's in the same level of progress as Lufkin, five or more years from being finished.
