Purpose The purpose of the public meeting is to present the proposed project to reconstruct the Trinity River Bridge on FM 787 connecting Romayor and Rayburn in Liberty County, Texas.
Description

Proposed improvements include reconstructing and realigning the FM 787 Trinity River Bridge at a new location between Rayburn and Romayor. The proposed alignment would be approximately 2 miles in length with a proposed right of way of 150 feet. The proposed pavement would have two travel lanes, one in each direction, with shoulders on each side.

Although additional right of way would be required, no residential or non-residential structures are anticipated to be displaced at this time. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and construction can be obtained from the TxDOT district office by calling 409-828-7284.

The proposed project would involve construction in wetlands. The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain.
