All comments must be received on or before Friday, December 4, 2020. This will be a virtual public hearing via a pre-recorded video presentation.

Purpose:
The purpose of the virtual public hearing is to present the proposed US 377 Roadway improvements and solicit public comments. The virtual public hearing will begin at 6:00PM. Materials will consist of a video presentation explaining the proposed project, which includes both audio and video components, along with other exhibits and materials for review. Comments may be provided by mail, email, or voicemail as described in the notice and on the virtual public hearing website.
Description:
The proposed project consists of the reconstruction and widening of approximately 13.7 miles of US 377 from North of BUS 377E in Pilot Point to US 380 in Cross Roads, TX. Improvements would include the expansion of the current 2-lane rural roadway to a 6-lane urban roadway with a raised median to provide additional capacity and improve safety. Improvements would consist of 12-foot-wide travel lanes, 14-foot-wide outside shared-use lanes, and 5-foot sidewalks with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps in both directions through most of the project. Proposed drainage would be conveyed by curb & gutter, a storm sewer system and crossing culverts. Other improvements would include realigning the intersections of BUS 377 S at US 377, and FM 424 at US 377. The existing right of way (ROW) width would increase with the proposed project to 140 feet. The proposed project is anticipated to require 54.7 acres of additional ROW and 1.1 acres of proposed permanent drainage easements.
