Purpose:

TxDOT is holding an open house meeting to present the updated plan for SH 249 from FM 1774 to SH 105 in Grimes County, Texas. The plans will be on display and TxDOT staff will be available to discuss the proposed project. Since this is an open house format, no formal presentation is planned. The public is invited to attend and may come and go at their convenience.

Description:

The project was environmentally cleared with a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on Sept. 9, 2016, as an approximate 10-mile, two-lane roadway on new location with direct connection to SH 105. The roadway was tolled and included passing lanes in alternating directions along the entire alignment and frontage roads on half the alignment. 

The following updates to the project are being proposed:

• The project would no longer be tolled  
• The project would no longer have passing lanes or frontage roads  
  
• Several previously proposed grade-separated intersections are now proposed as at-grade intersections 
• Alignment adjustments to avoid right of way impacts to wetlands and other sensitive environmental features
  

There are no residential or commercial displacements. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for right of way acquisition may be obtained from the district office at the address listed below. Visit the project page for more information.

Special accommodations: Persons interested in attending the meeting who have special communication or accommodation needs are encouraged to contact the District Public Information Officer at (979) 778-9788 at least two days prior to the meeting.
