Description:
The proposed work includes upgrading and widening FM 2493 by converting the existing two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane divided roadway. An interchange will be developed at FM 2493 and US Highway 69. The project length is approximately 9.2 miles. The proposed project is an added capacity roadway project and would require approximately 68 acres of additional right of way, which will include displacements of commercial and residential properties. This project anticipates the relocation of 22 residential properties and four commercial properties.
