Purpose:

The purpose of the public meeting is to gather public input on the proposed improvements to SH 48 (Boca Chica Blvd.) from I-69E to SH 4 (International Blvd.) in Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas. Project information will be in hand for viewing and staff will be available to answer questions. Comments must be received on or before August 1, 2018 to be a part of the official public meeting record.

Description:

The proposed project would involve the construction of a raised median with landscaping on an existing roadway that is currently within a 100-foot wide right-of-way (ROW). 

The proposed project would not require additional ROW. The raised median would be installed in place of the existing continuous left turn lane. The width of the raised median will be 11-foot wide with the median narrowing down to 2 feet at the intersections. The existing six 11-foot wide travel lanes will remain in place.

Special Accommodation:

TxDOT makes every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of the public. The open house 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 (956) 702-6161 at least 3 working days prior to the meeting. Please be aware that advance notice is requested as some accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange.

Memorandum of Understanding:
