The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is proposing improvements to IH 30 from Bass Pro Road in Dallas County to west of FM 2642 in Dallas and Rockwall Counties, Texas. Pursuant to Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, Part 1, Chapter 2, Subchapter E, §2.105 and Code of Federal Regulations, Title 23, Chapter I, Subchapter H, §771.111 and Title 40, Chapter V, §1506, this notice advises the public that TxDOT will be conducting two public meetings for the public’s convenience to discuss and receive public comments on the proposed project. The first meeting will be held on Thursday, April 27, 2017, at Royse City High School (cafeteria), 700 South FM 2642 Royse City, Texas 75189. The second meeting will be held on Thursday, May 4, 2017, at the Rockwall County District Courthouse (Liberty Hall), 1111 East Yellow Jacket Lane #401 Rockwall, Texas 75087. Representatives from TxDOT and project consultants will be available to answer questions about the proposed project improvements. Both meetings will present the same information, and will be held in an open house format from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with no formal presentation.
Proposed improvements to IH 30 would reconstruct and/or widen this highway from Bass Pro Road in Dallas County to west of FM 2642 in Rockwall County, approximately 17 miles through the Cities of Garland, Rowlett, Rockwall, Mobile City, Fate, and Royse City. Transportation improvements are needed on IH 30 to address current and projected traffic demands and facility deficiencies, and to establish a safe and efficient thoroughfare by which to provide goods and services in the eastern portion of Dallas‐Fort Worth (DFW). The proposed improvements include widening from 4 to 6 lanes from west of State Highway (SH) 205 to west of FM 2642; widening from 6 to 8 lanes from Bass Pro Drive to west of SH 205; construction of new frontage roads from Bass Pro Drive to Horizon Road (including bridge structures across Lake Ray Hubbard); bicycle and pedestrian facilities across Lake Ray Hubbard; and ramp and interchange construction and reconfiguration in the project corridor. Additional right-of-way is anticipated to be required along this segment of IH 30.
