Description:

TxDOT is proposing to improve 7.7 miles of FM 741 in Kaufman County from US 175 in Crandall to FM 548 in Forney. Improvements include widening from the existing two lane rural section to a proposed four lane divided urban roadway. The existing right of way width varies from 70 to 100 feet and the proposed right of way for the project is 140-foot-wide from US 175 to FM 2757 and 120-foot-wide from FM 2757 to the end of project.

Special Accommodations:

TxDOT makes every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of the public. The virtual public hearing will be in English. If you have a special communication accommodation or need for an interpreter, a request can be made. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can also be made to accommodate most needs. Please call (214) 320-4403 at least two working days prior to the meeting. Please be aware that advance notice is requested as some accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange.
