Description:

The proposed improvements for the SH 115 North project would include widening the existing two-lane undivided highway to a four-lane divided highway, with two lanes in each direction and adding a non-paved depressed median to provide a safe separation buffer between opposing directions of traffic. The overall project is approximately 55 miles in length, with 21 miles west of the city of Andrews and 34 miles east of the city of Andrews. Approximately 99 percent of the corridor is located within Andrews and Dawson counties, while the remaining one percent runs through small corners of Gaines and Martin counties.
