Loop 340 from south of the Brazos River to US 84
Notice and Opportunity to Comment
Public comment deadline | All comments must be received on or before Monday, July 7, 2025, to be included in official documentation. |
Purpose | TxDOT is proposing to widen SL 340 from the Brazos River to US 84 in McLennan County, Texas. This notice is affording an opportunity to comment as part of the environmental review process for this project. |
Description | The proposed project would convert the existing highway into a divided freeway by adding one 12-foot-wide travel lane in each direction with four-foot-wide inside and 10-foot-wide outside shoulders; one-way, two-lane frontage roads in each direction, as well as the addition of six-foot-wide sidewalks and 10-foot-wide shared use paths. New frontage road bridges are proposed over the Brazos River, as well as new and repurposed bridges over the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). The project would require approximately 1.55 acres of permanent drainage easements and 0.29-acre of proposed construction easements. Approximately 19.15 acres of proposed right-of-way would be required. The existing right-of-way varies between 250 and 750 feet wide. The project is approximately 5.25 miles in length. Although additional right of way would be required, no residential or non-residential structures are anticipated to be displaced at this time. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and construction can be obtained from the TxDOT Waco District office by calling 254-867-2700. Any environmental documentation or studies, maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative construction schedules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for inspection, by appointment only, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Waco District’s office, 100 S. Loop Drive, Waco, Texas, 76704-2858. Please call 254-867-2700 to make an appoinment. Project materials are also available on this page. |
