The proposed project would reconstruct and widen FM 917 from I-35W to west of Mansfield.

TxDOT would like your input on the preferred alternative selected based on community input.

The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require additional right of way and potentially displace 7 residences and 16 non-residential structures.

The proposed project would involve construction in wetlands. The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain.
