The improvements also accommodate bicycles and pedestrians. The project length is approximately 4.04 miles in length. The proposed project is an added capacity roadway project. The proposed right of way (ROW) would vary between 130 and 145 feet in width and would require approximately 41.7 acres of new right of way. The existing FM 2275 right of way (ROW) width is approximately 80 feet. The proposed project would displace 31 single family residences and one commercial business. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and businesses.
