Description:

The proposed project consists of reconstruction, realigning and widening FM 1387 from North Midlothian Parkway to FM 664 for approximately 5.8 miles.  Improvements would include the expansion of the existing two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane urban roadway (ultimate six-lanes) with a raised median to provide additional capacity and improve safety.  Turn lanes, where applicable, will be located at side streets and intersections.  Improvements would consist of 11-foot and 12-foot wide travel lanes depending on right of way (ROW) restrictions, a 10-foot wide shared use path on the north side and a five foot sidewalk on the south side of the roadway.  The proposed ROW width will range from 120 to 300 feet.  The proposed project passes through the eastern portion of the City of Midlothian and Ellis County, Texas.
