US 79 from I-35 to east of FM 1460

The proposed widening project would add a third 12-foot travel lane in each direction of US 79 and install a raised median for safety. The width of the median varies throughout the project. Improvements to intersections would include overpasses at US 79/Mays Street and US 79/FM 1460 and alteration of the US 79/I-35 Intersection. Driveways and access points would be modified to improve safety and traffic flow. The improvements also include installing 10-foot shared-use paths on both sides of US 79 to improve pedestrian and bicycle accommodations.
