Purpose | The purpose of the public meeting is to gather public input on the proposed improvements to reconstruct Vallecillo Road from FM 1472 (Mines Road) to the IH 35 Southbound Frontage Road (SBFR) within the City of Laredo city limits in Webb County, Texas. This meeting will also provide the public with an opportunity to view project-related information and provide comments on the proposed improvements.

Description | The Vallecillo Road project is a new location east-west roadway situated about a mile and a half north of IH 69 West and aligned with A.F. Muller Boulevard, directly connecting FM 1472 (Mines Road) with IH 35. Plans call for a 150-foot-wide right-of-way for a total of 74.46 acres of new right-of-way. The project would be approximately 2.85 miles in length and consist of four (4) travel lanes, two (2) in each direction, and will have a raised concrete median in the center. The plans also include sidewalks and a shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists. The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require additional right of way and potentially displace no residences and one (1) commercial structure. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and construction can be obtained from the WC-CL RMA by calling 956-477-0707. |
