US 59/I-369 North Section from US 59 to US 80
Loop 390 / US 59 / I-369 Corridor - Harrison County
CSJ: 1575-06-002, 1575-05-019
Project description
The US 59/I-369 North Section will extend from existing US 59 north of Marshall to US 80 east of Marshall, approximately 3.2 miles in new roadway and 3.5 miles reconstructing existing roadway. A portion of the North Section will utilize existing Loop 390 right of way (ROW) as much as possible and the rest will be constructed on new location. This roadway will be designed to meet interstate standards with plans to ultimately designate it as I-369. The project will be developed to possibly include one-way frontage roads where feasible. The route will include interchange locations at US 59 and US 80 and potential interchange locations at FM 1793, Loop 390, SH 43 and FM 1998. The construction of this roadway segment would relieve traffic congestion caused due to a growing population, provide safer travel through the state, improve emergency evacuation routes, and support economic development.
Typical sections
The proposed US 59/I-369 roadway will be constructed to include two 12-foot-wide mainlanes in each direction with 6-foot-wide inside shoulders and 10-foot-wide outside shoulders. Additionally, one way frontage roads could be constructed consisting of two 12-foot-wide lanes, 4 foot-wide inside shoulders, and 10-foot-wide outside shoulders. Additionally, bicycle and pedestrian facilities (not shown) will be developed to meet current design guidelines. Opposing mainlane traffic will be separated by a depressed grassy median and an open ditch. The mainlanes and the frontage roads will be separated by a grassy area with an open ditch. Ramps (not shown) will also be included at locations determined during later project development.
Funding and letting information
This project will begin development in the future with a current construction estimate of $313.1 million and estimated letting in 2029. This project is currently NOT FUNDED.
Public involvement
The purpose of public involvement is to share project information and updates, present proposed schematics of the project and collect input from the community. TxDOT is committed to working closely with the community on this project.
