Loop 224 - Alternatives

We are studying alternatives to improve the safety and mobility in the area of Loop 224 from US 59 to Business US 59 in north Nacogdoches:

Alternative 1

• Construct a raised concrete curb median from US 59 to Business US 59
• Construct an additional travel lane in each direction resulting in a four-lane facility with paved shoulders
• Construct a four-lane overpass for Loop 224 over Business US 59
• Construct two-lane frontage roads at Business US 59

Alternative 2

• Construct a depressed grass ditch median from US 59 to Business US 59
• Resurface the two existing Loop 224 lanes
• Construct two new travel lanes off of the existing Loop 224 pavement resulting in a four-lane facility with paved shoulders
• Construct a four-lane overpass for Loop 224 over Business US 59
• Construct two-lane frontage roads at Business US 59

Time Frame

A construction date for the project will be determined when funds are available.
