This notice advises the public that TxDOT will be conducting an in-person public meeting with a virtual option. |
| Description | The proposed improvements to SH 289 include widening SH 289 from FM 120 to End of State Maintenance (Elks Boulevard) from a two-lane highway to a five-lane highway with two lanes in each direction and a continuous two-way left turn lane for approximately 7.01 miles. The proposed project is not currently funded for construction. |
