| Purpose | TxDOT is asking for feedback on proposed alternatives for a potential relief route around the City of Bellville. The study limits are along SH 36 from Old Highway 36 to FM 2429 in Austin County, Texas. |
| Description | The purpose of the relief route is to help reduce congestion, while also improving safety and mobility. |
| Accessibility | The public meeting 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 accommodation to attend and participate in the public meeting, please contact, TxDOT Yoakum District Public Information Officer, at 361-293-4436 no later than 4 p.m. CT, Monday, Oct. 13, 2025.

La reunión pública se llevará a cabo en inglés. Si usted necesita un intérprete o un traductor de documentos porque su idioma principal no es el inglés o tiene alguna dificultad para comunicarse eficazmente en inglés, se le proporcionará uno. Si usted tiene alguna discapacidad y necesita ayuda, se pueden hacer arreglos especiales para atender la mayoría de las necesidades. Si usted necesita servicios de interpretación o traducción o usted es una persona con alguna discapacidad que requiera una adaptación para asistir a y participar en SH 36 reunión pública, por favor póngase en contacto con TxDOT Gerente de Proyecto, al número 361-293-4328 a más tardar a las 4 p.m. hora central lunes 13 de octubre de 2025.
