NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) -

TxDOT is redirecting traffic at US 59 and US 259 in Nacogdoches as crews work to remove an overturned truck from the northbound on-ramp.

According to TxDOT spokeswoman Kathi White, the ramp could be closed for another two hours or more as crews are removing the cargo and the truck from the road.

Northbound traffic coming from Nacogdoches is being diverted to the southbound lane. Southbound traffic coming from the Central Heights area is down to one lane.
