Purpose:
TxDOT, in conjunction with the city of Glenn Heights, is proposing improvements to I-35E at Bear Creek Road from Hampton Road to I-35E in Dallas County, Texas. The purpose of the hearing is to present the planned improvements and to receive public comment on the proposed project. Comments must be received on or before Wednesday, April 3, 2019, to be a part of the official record.
Description:
The I-35E at Bear Creek Road proposed improvements would consist of the reconstruction and widening of Bear Creek Road from Hampton Road to I-35E within the cities of Glenn Heights and Lancaster in Dallas County, Texas, a distance of approximately 2 miles. Bear Creek Road is an undivided, two-lane rural highway within an existing right of way of approximately 80 feet. The proposed improvements would include two travel lanes in each direction with raised median and curb and gutter; continuous sidewalks; and a 12-foot shared-use path within a proposed right-of-way width of approximately 112 feet. Additional improvements would include reconstruction of the I-35E/Bear Creek Road intersection and the replacement of the I-35E frontage road bridges. The proposed project would require approximately 11.8 acres of additional right of way. The proposed project would result in one residential displacement. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons.
