| Purpose | TxDOT is proposing to widen FM 1387 from North Midlothian Parkway to FM 664 in Ellis County, Texas. |
| Description | TxDOT is proposing to widen FM 1387 from North Midlothian Parkway to FM 664 in Ellis County, Texas. The FM 1387 reconstruction project includes widening approximately 5.7 miles of FM 1387. The typical proposed right-of-way would be approximately 140 feet wide, with the minimum and maximum ROW width ranging from 120 feet to 300 feet, respectively. The proposed project involves the full reconstruction of the existing two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane urban roadway (ultimately six lanes) with turn lanes. Two alternatives are being considered from Longbranch Road to FM 664, one to the north that follows the existing FM 1387 alignment, and one that extends east from Longbranch Road to FM 664 south of Legacy Estates. The proposed project passes through the cities of Midlothian and Waxahachie in Ellis County, TX. Depending on the configuration of the proposed roadway and the selected alternative, the proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require the acquisition of new ROW on both sides of FM 1387 along the length of the corridor and potentially displace ten residences along the FM 1387 corridor, west of Longbranch Road. |
| Accessibility | The virtual public meeting will be 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.
