Purpose:

TxDOT and the City of Temple is proposing to improve Old Waco Road from 522 feet south of Jupiter Drive to IH-35 South in Temple, Bell County, Texas. The project is the result of monies received from Category 7 program funding for Metropolitan Mobility and Rehabilitation projects. Pursuant to Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, Part 1, Chapter 2, Subchapter E, §2.107 and Code of Federal Regulations, Title 23, Chapter I, Subchapter H, §771.111 and Title 40, Chapter V, §1506, this notice advises the public that the Texas Department of Transportation, in partnership with the City of Temple, will conduct a public meeting to discuss and receive public comments on the proposed project.

Description:

The existing facility is a two-lane roadway with Right-of-Way (ROW) width measuring approximately 55 to 85 feet. The proposed project is a 2.5-miles long, four-lane divided facility within a 190-foot to 500-foot ROW; it would not be a tolled facility. Curbs, gutters, a hike and bike trail, and dedicated bike lanes to incorporate multimodal transportation would be constructed. There will be a raised boulevard section including a grass median. 


Maps will be displayed at the meeting depicting the location of proposed improvements, alternatives, environmental constraints, and the geometric design.


Written comments from the public regarding the project are requested and may be presented at the meeting or submitted in person or by mail to TxDOT Waco District, C/O Temple Outer Loop West, 100 South Loop Dr, Waco, TX 76704.
