This notice advises the public that TxDOT has issued a Finding of No Significiant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed reconstruction and widening of FM 455 from west of FM 2450 to east of Marion Road, a distance of 5.53 miles, in the City of Sanger, Denton County, TX.

Proposed improvements would involve the expansion from a two-lane rural highway to a four-lane urban highway (four through lanes with a Center Two-Way Left Turn Lane [CTWLTL]). Expansion would consist of one 12-foot wide travel lane and one 14-foot wide outside shared use lane with 1.5-foot outside curb offsets in each direction with a 17-foot wide CTWLTL. In the vicinity of Interstate Highway 35 (IH 35), the roadway would include a zero to nine-foot wide raised central median on each side of IH 35. Each raised central median would be preceded by an 11 to 17-foot wide taper from the flush median section (CTWLTL) to the raised central median section. Five to eight-foot wide sidewalks would be located along the outside of both the eastbound and westbound lanes.
