SH 315 from US 259 to Panola County line
Project overview
TxDOT is evaluating alternatives for widening SH 315 in Rusk County, Texas from US 259 to the Panola County line. The existing two-lane roadway includes two 12-foot travel lanes and two 8-foot shoulders, and the proposed four-lane roadway being evaluated would include two 12-foot lanes with 10-foot shoulders in both directions separated by a median.
The project would require additional right-of-way. The amount of right-of-way required varies depending on the alternatives developed. TxDOT anticipates this project going to construction in 2033.
Project purpose
The purpose of the proposed project is to increase the safety along the corridor and to update the roadway and intersections to current design standards.
