| Purpose | The focus of the project is to enhance safety, relieve congestion, and improve mobility along the corridor. The proposed improvements were previously presented in public meetings held in November 2016 and August 2018. |
| Description | Segment 2B is a proposed widening project that extends 4.7 miles along IH 45 within the city limits of Huntsville with a usual right of way of 400 feet. The project would widen IH 45 from four to six lanes including reconstruction and realignment of freeway main lanes and ramps. In addition, the project would create two new interchanges: near San Jacinto Street (west of IH 45) and Moffett Springs Road (east of IH 45) and north of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Headquarters. A raised median along SH 75 from Brookview Drive to FM 2821 would be constructed to reduce vehicle turning conflicts. The project would also improve drainage structures, bridges, frontage roads, and crossroads adjacent to new ramps and interchanges. 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 district office by calling (979) 778-9607. The proposed project would involve construction in wetlands and would involve an action in a floodplain. Any environmental documentation or studies, any 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 Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Bryan District Office located at 2591 North Earl Rudder Freeway, Bryan, Texas 77803 (phone: 979-778-2165). The project materials in hard copy form presented at the in-person option will also be available online. Written comments from the public regarding the proposed project are requested and may be submitted by mail to the TxDOT Bryan District Office, Attn: Jann Keong Kam, P.E., 2591 North Earl Rudder Freeway, Bryan, Texas 77803. Written comments may also be submitted by email. All written comments must be received on or before Friday, Jan. 28, 2022. Additionally, members of the public can call 936-241-8802 to verbally provide testimony from 4 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 13 until 11:59 p.m., Friday, Jan. 28, 2022.
