Notice of Availability - Final Environmental Assessment - US 377 Cresson Relief Route
Purpose:
This notice advises the public that a final environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed US 377 Cresson Relief Route in Hood and Johnson Counties, Texas, is available for public review until Sept. 11, 2017.
Description:
The proposed project begins approximately one mile south of the intersection of US 377 and SH 171 and ends approximately one mile north of the intersection.The proposed US 377 Relief Route project would construct a four-lane relief route west of US 377 and the City of Cresson. The proposed roadway would be a four-lane divided roadway with two 12-foot wide lanes in each direction, 10-foot wide outside shoulders, and a 48-foot wide median, which includes four-foot wide inside shoulders. The proposed relief route would bridge over SH 171 and the Fort Worth & Western Railroad. At the project termini, grade-separations with 14-foot wide ramps would provide connectivity to existing US 377. The proposed relief route would typically require a width of 240 feet of new right of way (ROW). Additional ROW width will be required at locations where slope adjustments are needed for roadway excavations or embankments and near interchanges with US 377 at the beginning and end of the project. The proposed project is approximately three miles in length. Approximately 115 acres of additional ROW and no easements would be required to accommodate the proposed facility. No residential or commercial displacements would be required for the proposed project. Access would be controlled along the relief route, and no driveways leading directly to the proposed roadway would be allowed.
The environmental review, consultation and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated Dec. 16, 2014, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT.
