Description:
The proposed project consists of reconfiguring the SH 78/Gaston Avenue intersection to improve traffic operations and mobility. The improvements would modify the intersection to include additional turning lanes, raised medians, adding bicycle and pedestrian accommodations within the project limits, and widening the existing bridges over an unnamed tributary to White Rock Creek. The proposed project would require approximately 0.29 acre of new right of way and 0.32 acre of temporary construction easements to accommodate the proposed improvements.

If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can also be made to accommodate most needs. Please call (214) 320-4480 at least two working days prior to the meeting. Please be aware that advance notice is requested as some accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange.
