Purpose:
The purpose of the open house is to gather public input on the proposed roadway improvements to Farm to Market Road (FM) 545 in the cities of Melissa and Blue Ridge in Collin County, Texas.
Description:
The proposed project limits extend from FM 2933 to Business State Highway 78 (BS – 78D) in Collin County for a total distance of 9.09 miles; however, 1.69 miles of this roadway within these limits will exclude previously reconstructed roadway and bridge replacements including Sister Grove Creek and Pilot Grove Creek. The total construction length for this project will be approximately 7.40 miles. The existing FM 545 roadway consists of a two-lane, undivided roadway with 11-foot wide travel lanes with one foot shoulders. The proposed project will have two, 12-foot travel lanes with 10-foot shoulders, and most of the sharp curves will be realigned. The FM 545 existing roadway section will be resurfaced from Pecan Street to BS-78D in Blue Ridge. The existing roadway right of way width varies from approximately 80 feet to 120 feet, and the proposed roadway right of way width footprint will increase to approximately 132 feet. The proposed project will require approximately 50 acres of new right of way and an estimated 4.40 acres of permanent easements. The additional right of way and easements will be required to construct the proposed roadway improvements.
