This notice advises the public that a final environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review, and TxDOT has issued a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for the proposed RM 620 from SH 71 to Hudson Bend Road in Travis County, Texas.

The project includes:

• Widening the existing four-lane divided to a six-lane divided urban roadway
• Adding raised medians
• Adding add a continuous shared-use path along both sides of the road

These impact contours are intended as a general guide to assist local planning officials and developers plan and construct new activities in locations that would not result in traffic noise impacts.
