Description:

Construction within the project limits would be proposed as both urban and rural.

Within the urbanized sections of the roadway, the new location non-freeway roadway would consist of three 12-foot lanes in each direction, with a 16-foot. wide median, a 4-foot inside shoulders, 10-foot outside shoulders, a 10-foot-wide shared use path, and a 6-foot sidewalk with American Disabilities Act curb ramps in both directions.  The usual ROW width for the urban roadway is 200 feet.

Within the rural section of the roadway, the new location non-freeway roadway would consist of two 12-foot lanes (ultimate 6-lanes) in each direction, a 60-foot. wide depressed median, 4-foot inside shoulders, and 10-foot outside shoulders for bicycle accommodations within the rural section of the proposed roadway. The usual ROW width for the rural roadway is 200 feet.

12-foot-wide turn lanes would be constructed where appropriate at various locations throughout the project corridor. Proposed drainage will be conveyed by curb and gutter, a storm sewer system and crossing culverts. The design speed for the proposed roadway is 40 miles per hour (mph) for the urban sections and 70 mph for the rural section.

The project also proposes the construction of two new bridges:

The proposed FM 1171 Bridge section spanning FM 156, B.N.S.F. Railroad, the GE Test Track Railroad, and Justin Cemetery Road, a length of approximately 535 feet. The usual ROW width varies from 250 feet to 300 feet. 

The proposed FM 1171 Bridge section spanning Denton Creek, a length of approximately 2,940 feet. This bridge will be constructed in phases interim and ultimate. The interim phase would consist of two 12-foot lanes in each direction with a 22-foot inside shoulder and a 10-foot outside shoulder. The ultimate phase would consist of three 12-foot lanes in each direction with a 10-foot inside and outside shoulder. The usual ROW width for both phases is 200 feet.
