| Purpose | The TxDOT Lufkin District will be conducting an online virtual public meeting with an in-person option to present the proposed upgrade of US 59 and reconstruction of the US 59/US 259 interchange to meet interstate standards from FM 343 to 1.2 miles north of US 259 in Nacogdoches County, Texas. In-person attendees will be able to view the same presentation delivered in the virtual public meeting, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions, and leave written comments. |
| Description | The 2.5-mile-long project would include:
The proposed improvements, subject to final design considerations, would require approximately 55 acres of additional right of way and potentially displace 15 residences and six non-residential structures. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and businesses. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program and services and benefits for those displaced and other affected property owners, as well as information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and construction, can be obtained from the TxDOT district office by calling 936-633-4383. |
| Accessibility | The virtual public meeting will be conducted in English and Spanish. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English or Spanish is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the virtual public meeting, please contact Rhonda Oaks, at 936-633-4395 no later than 4 p.m. CT, Wednesday, May 11, 2022. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange. |
