The proposed project includes reconstruction and widening of FM 740 / FM 548 from a two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane divided urban roadway with raised medians, curb and gutter, a bridge widening at the Mustang Creek crossing, and a 10-foot-wide shared-use path on both sides of the road for approximately 4.04 miles. The roadway passes through the cities of Mesquite and Forney. The existing FM 740 / FM 548 right-of-way (ROW) width ranges from 60-feet (along FM 740) to 150-feet in width (along FM 548). Where proposed ROW is needed, the width is generally 130-feet wide.

The proposed project would, subject to final design consideration, require approximately 8.5 acres of additional ROW and potentially displace 3 residential and 1 business structures. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and businesses. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program and services and benefits for those displaced and other affected property owners, as well as information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition and construction, can be obtained from the TxDOT Dallas District office by calling (214) 320-6675 or online at the project website.

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 Dallas District office at 4777 East Highway 80 Mesquite, Texas 75150. Project materials will also be available online at the project website.
