A TxDOT staff member will deliver a presentation at both in-person open house meetings. Questions will be answered by staff during the open house portion of the meeting. A copy of the same presentation along with all displays and exhibits will be available in the virtual open house meeting on the TxDOT.gov website. |
| Description | The proposed project would consist of safety improvements to the existing Amarillo Blvd. (BI-40D). This includes modifying existing median crossovers, (reconstruct, remove, and/or relocate), constructing turn lanes, extending limits of safety illumination, constructing median barriers, and constructing continuous sidewalks or shared use paths.
