Description:

The proposed project would construct 3.5 miles of a new location non-freeway roadway of FM 1171.  Construction within the project limits would be proposed as both urban and rural.  The proposed facility would consist of widening a portion of John Wiley Road to a six-lane urban roadway (three lanes in each direction) and extending the six-lane roadway east beyond FM 156 to a proposed connection/extension to Harmonson Road.  The proposed facility would then become a divided four-lane rural roadway and extend approximately 1.9 miles to the east, where it could again become a six-lane urban roadway as it approaches I-35W.  The project would add a pedestrian/bicycle shared use path and sidewalk. 

Special Accommodations:

The virtual public hearing and in-person option will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you.
