Purpose TxDOT's Beaumont District will host a virtual public meeting with in-person option to gather input on the proposed US 90 bridge overpass at the Union Pacific Railroad project located in Dayton, Liberty County, Texas. This notice advises the public that TxDOT will be conducting an online virtual public meeting on the proposed project with an in-person option. In-person attendees will be able to view the same presentation delivered in the virtual public meeting, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions and leave written comments.
Description

The purpose of the proposed project is to enhance safety and improve mobility by eliminating the at-grade crossing to reduce travel delays due to the interaction of trains and vehicles at the US 90/UPRR intersection. The approximately one-mile project includes:

  • Removing the at-grade crossing
  • Building an overpass bridge over the existing UPRR
  • Adding U-turns to maintain access
  • Adding safety lighting

No right of way or displacements are anticipated. The project will take place within the existing right of way ranging from 128 to 131-feet wide on US 90.
