TxDOT is providing an in-person option for individuals who would like to participate in person instead of online. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to attend an in-person presentation by TxDOT staff and the project team, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions of TxDOT staff and/or consultants, and provide written comments or verbal testimony.

The purpose of this meeting is to gather official public comment regarding TxDOT's proposal to widen US 83 from Concho County line to US 190 north of Menard in Menard County, Texas.

The proposed project would extend approximately 11.2 miles along US 83. The existing typical section consists of a rural two-lane undivided highway with alternating passing lanes within a 100-foot-wide right of way. The proposed project would widen US 83 within an approximate 470-foot-wide right of way and be constructed in two phases: 

• Phase I (interim design) would primarily widen US 83 to a four-lane divided highway
• Phase II (ultimate design) would widen US 83 by constructing frontage roads on either side of the interim design mainlanes. Construction of Phase II would be dependent on funding and interstate planning.

In addition, construction would occur on approximately .15 mile of US 190 to improve the US 83/US 190 intersection, and approximately .54 mile of FM 3463 to realign the US 83/FM 3463 intersection. 

The virtual public meeting and in-person option 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 or in-person option, please the TxDOT San Angelo District's public information officer at 325-947-9205 no later than 4 p.m. CT, at least three business days before the date on which you would like to review the project materials or submit information. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange. 

La reunión pública virtual y la opción presencial se llevarán a cabo en inglés. Si necesita un intérprete o traductor de documentos porque el inglés no es su lengua materna o tiene dificultades para comunicarse eficazmente en inglés, se le proporcionará uno. Si tiene una discapacidad y necesita asistencia, se pueden hacer arreglos especiales para satisfacer la mayoría de sus necesidades. Si necesita servicios de interpretación o traducción, o si es una persona con discapacidad que requiere adaptaciones para asistir y participar en la reunión pública virtual o en la opción presencial, comuníquese con el Oficial de Información Pública del Distrito de San Angelo de TxDOT al 325-947-9205 a más tardar a las 4 p.m. CT, al menos tres días hábiles antes de la fecha en que desee revisar los materiales del proyecto o enviar información. Tenga en cuenta que se requiere aviso previo, ya que algunos servicios y adaptaciones pueden requerir tiempo para que el Departamento de Transporte de Texas los gestione.
