Interstate Highway I-20 is a short 15 minute drive from downtown Tyler via U.S. 69 or U.S. 271.
U.S. Highway 69 is the major north-south route through the city, and the best access route to Tyler when eastbound on I-20. U.S. Highway 271 provides the shortest, quickest access to the city when westbound on I-20.
Texas Highways 31 is a major east-west corridor, to Kilgore and Athens. Highways 64 and 110 are also major routes in and out of Tyler, providing a more northwest-southeast alignment.
Loop 323 functions as a ground-level 4-6 lane inner-loop, while the new Toll Loop 49 will provide a large outer-loop at its completion.
 Texas Toll Loop 49 in Tyler |
Texas Loop 49, now under construction in stages, will connect with I-20 providing additional routes from Tyler to this major Interstate route. It will also alleviate traffic volumes on other Tyler traffic arteries such as Loop 323 and U.S. 69.
Initial segments are being built as to the south and west of Tyler, as two-lane limited-access roadways, but overpasses and right-of-ways are designed for an eventual four-lane highway.
Today, in 2012, two segments of the loop are completed, three additional segments are under construction, and another segment in the planning stages.
