Public Meeting Documentation

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is conducting a feasibility study for improvements to US 287 through Ellis County, a distance of approximately 32 miles. The purpose of this feasibility study is to identify and evaluate the potential construction of continuous, one-way frontage roads, including grade separations and access control, along US 287 from SH 360 in the City of Mansfield to West Lampasas Street in the City of Ennis. Project alternatives could require additional right-of-way to accommodate the project.

This virtual meeting begins on April 21, 2020 and will remain available online through the comment period deadline of May 6, 2020. During this time, please view the video presentation and exhibits provided on this site to learn about the project, and provide your comments.
