| Purpose | Kaufman County and TxDOT are proposing improvements to US 175 from north of BUS 175 to east of FM 1895 in the City of Kemp, Kaufman County, Texas. |
| Description | The proposed improvements consist of constructing two to three freeway main lanes in each direction within the grass median of US 175 from north of BUS 175 (State Loop 346) to east of FM 1895, a distance of approximately 2.1 miles, in the City of Kemp, Kaufman County, Texas. Grade separated interchanges would be constructed at BUS 175 and FM 1895. The existing US 175 would become frontage roads. Entrance and exit ramps would be added between the existing frontage roads and proposed freeway main lanes. The existing typical right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 600 feet. No additional ROW would be required to construct the proposed project. The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain. |
| Accessibility | The virtual public meeting and in-person option 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 public meeting or in-person option, please contact the TxDOT Dallas Public Information Office -214-320-4480 no later than 4 p.m., March 30, 2023. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time to arrange. |
