Purpose:

The purpose of the meetings is to propose improvements to US 82 from West Division Street in Blossom to SH 37 in Clarksville, and from Business US 82-J in Clarksville to the Red River/Bowie County line. Maps of the project areas and other displays will be available for review and comment, and TxDOT staff will be available to answer questions. Comments must be received on or before Friday, Feb. 28, 2020, to be included in the official meeting record.

Description:

The purpose of the proposed projects is to improve safety, mobility and regional connectivity, manage congestion and address roadway deficiencies. The US 82 (West of Clarksville) Project extends from West Division Street in Blossom to SH 37 in Clarksville for a total project length of approximately 22 miles. While the US 82 (East of Clarksville) Project extends from Business US 82-J in Clarksville to the Red River/Bowie County line for a total project length of approximately 17 miles. The improvements consist of the widening of US 82 to a four-lane divided section in rural areas and a five-lane section in urban and suburban areas. Ramps, bridges, interchanges and the Northeast Texas Trail would be reconstructed, as necessary.
