Overview

TxDOT is developing preliminary plans for the expansion of FM 2964 (Rhones Quarter Road) from SH 110 in the city of Tyler south to FM 346 in the city of Whitehouse. 

Details

Proposed enhancements to this corridor include:

• Widening from a a two- to four-lane facility with a continuous center-turn lane
• Redesigning the roadway alignment to improve grades and curves
• Addressing the FM 2964/SH 110/Shiloh Road intersection in the city of Tyler
• Realigning FM 2964 with County Road 2277 at FM 346 in the city of Whitehouse
• Converting the roadway drainage from open flow ditches to curb and gutter
• Adding sidewalks to improve pedestrian safety
• Providing outside shared-use travel lanes for cyclists

The project requires the acquisition of new right of way from adjacent property owners.

The first public meeting was held on Thursday, March 7, 2019, from 5 - 7 p.m. at Brown Elementary School.
