Virtual Public Hearing for FM 1641/FM 548 Improvements
Farm to Market Road (FM) 1641
From FM 548 to FM 148
and
FM 548 from FM 1641 to United States (US) 80

The FM 1641 reconstruction project includes widening approximately 0.2 miles of FM 548 and approximately 5.4 miles of FM 1641. The existing FM 548 is a 4-lane urban roadway, and the existing FM 1641 is a rural 2-lane roadway. Both roadways would be reconstructed to an urban 4-lane (ultimate 6-lane) section with turn lanes. A raised median would be added, and 14-foot wide shared-use lanes to accommodate bicycles and 6-foot wide sidewalks would be added in each direction. The existing right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 90 feet wide with the proposed project ROW width being approximately 130 feet wide. Approximately 20.3 acres of new ROW and 3.0 acres of permanent drainage easements would be required to accommodate the proposed improvements.
This virtual hearing begins on June 30, 2020 and will remain available online through the comment period deadline of July 15, 2020. During this time, please view the video presentation and exhibits provided on this site to learn about the project, and provide your comments.
