Public Hearing - SH 249 Toll in Grimes County

• Constructing a two-lane roadway with shoulders and a passing lane in alternating directions that would accommodate future widening to a four-lane divided roadway. The typical right-of-way width would be 400 - 450 feet.
  
• The proposed two-lane roadway will be tolled. In addition, two-lane, one-way, non-tolled frontage roads would be constructed along approximately five miles of the proposed project (from Urbanosky Lane to west of County Road [CR] 304).
  
• Depending on the final alternative, approximately 623 - 658 acres of new right of way would be required. No displacements would be required.
  
• The project would travel across the 100-year floodplains associated with Mill Creek and a tributary of Beason Creek. The project would also cross numerous creeks and streams; however, no wetlands have been identified within the new right of way.
  
• The proposed construction is intended to improve safety, reduce existing and future traffic congestion, improve transportation system linkage and provide an emergency evacuation route.
  
• TxDOT is presenting two alignment alternatives for the area between CR 304 and CR 306 (noted in yellow and green) for public input to assist in the final alternative selection. This final selection will be based on current research, input received during the comment period and any additional information gained from the June 30, 2016 public hearing.
