| Description | The proposed project includes the following:
The purpose of the project is to improve mobility by constructing additional travel lanes and increase safety by bringing the roadway up to current design standards, separating northbound and southbound travel lanes with a grassy median and upgrading other safety appurtenances (guard rail, sloped culvert end treatments, wide shoulders, etc.). The project spans approximately 28 miles and will acquire additional right of way adjacent to the existing corridor (acreage to be determined pending final design); displacements may also be required but have not yet been identified. |
| Accessibility | The virtual open house and in-person options will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the virtual open house, please contact the Brownwood District at 325-643-0413 no later than 4 p.m. CT, Wednesday, July 19, 2023. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodation may require time for TxDOT to arrange. |
