| Description | TxDOT is proposing to widen US 285 from a two-lane undivided roadway to a four-lane divided roadway with shoulders, and a median or barrier. In addition, median openings would be provided at intersections as needed. The proposed project is 49.3 miles. The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require additional right of way and displace zero residences and 2 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 can be obtained from the project consultant by calling 972-960-4451. The proposed project could involve construction in wetlands or floodplains, however, that has not been determined. If you have any general questions or concerns regarding the proposed project or the virtual meeting, please contact Brian Swindell at 972-960-4451, or by email. |
| Accessibility | The virtual public meeting will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English 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 the project team at 972-960-4451 no later than 4 p.m. CST, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange. |
