| Purpose | TxDOT and Kaufman County are proposing to improve FM 460 from US 80 to FM 740 and FM 740 from Ranch Road to north of Maverick Drive in Kaufman County, Texas. |
| Description | The proposed project would reconstruct and widen FM 460 between US 80 and FM 740, and FM 740 between Ranch Road and north of Maverick Drive in the City of Forney, Kaufman County, from a two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided roadway, with provisions for future widening to a six-lane divided roadway. A continuous six-foot-wide sidewalk will be built on one side of the roadway, and a continuous 10-foot-wide shared-use path would be provided for multiple users, including pedestrians and bicyclists on the other side of the roadway. The existing FM 460 and FM 740 right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 90 feet wide throughout the length of the project. The proposed ROW width is 120 to 215 feet wide. The overall project length would be approximately five miles . The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require additional right of way and potentially displace one residential and one commercial structure. Relocation assistance is available for displaced people and businesses. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program and services and benefits for those displaced and other affected property owners, as well as information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition and construction, can be obtained by calling TxDOT Dallas District Right of Way office at 214-320-6675 or by visiting the project website. Any environmental documentation or studies, any maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative construction schedules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Dallas District office at 4777 E. Hwy. 80, Mesquite, TX 75150. Please call 214-320-6625 to make an appointment. Project materials are also available online at www.keepitmovingdallas.com. These materials will also be available in hard copy form for review at the in-person option. |
