Learning to drive in Ore City
Eligible students use one Texas driver education pathway based on age and licensing plan:
- Parent-Taught Driver Education
- Teen Driver Education, Block Method
- Texas 6-Hour Adult Driver Education.
SH 155 and Lake O’ the Pines
SH 155 is one of Ore City’s most important regional routes.
TxDOT reports active bridge replacement at Lake O’ the Pines in August 2026. Traffic has shifted, with lane and shoulder closures in place.
The project is approximately 3.5 miles northeast of Ore City and crosses Big Cypress Creek at Lake O’ the Pines. TxDOT project documents describe replacement and widening of the bridge.
For new drivers, this means:
- Shifted lanes
- Narrower work areas
- Construction vehicles
- Reduced speeds
- Boat and recreation traffic
- Drivers unfamiliar with the area
