Notice of Availability - Record of Decision US 181 Harbor Bridge Project

Purpose:

TxDOT is advising the public of the availability of the record of decision (ROD) for the proposed construction of the US 181 Harbor Bridge project in Nueces County, Texas. The project limits include:  US 181 at Beach Avenue on the north; Crosstown Expressway at Morgan Avenue on the south; I-37 and Up River Road on the west; and I-37 and Shoreline Boulevard on the east.

Description:

The project would replace the existing Harbor Bridge and reconstruct portions of US 181, I-37 and the Crosstown Expressway. The improvements would consist of constructing a six-lane controlled-access facility within a right-of-way width that varies between 200-430 feet, three lanes in each direction with a median barrier, shoulders and a bicycle and pedestrian shared-use path on the main span of the bridge and approaches.

The ROD identifies the recommended alternative as the selected alternative for construction of the US 181 Harbor Bridge Project. It presents the basis for the decision, summarizes the mitigation measures that will be incorporated into the project and summarizes the responses to comments received on the FEIS. It also describes the voluntary resolution agreement between the Federal Highway Administration and TxDOT that is the response to a complaint filed under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 concerning the project.

A digital version of the ROD may be downloaded from the project website. Paper copies of the ROD and other information about the project may be requested from:
