Description:

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Kaufman County propose improvements to the existing Farm-to-Market Road (FM) 548 from north of U.S. Highway (US) 80 to State Highway (SH) 205 in Kaufman and Rockwall Counties, Texas. The total project length is approximately 7.8 miles. There are two segments to the proposed project. Segment 1 would involve the expansion from a two-lane rural roadway to a six-lane divided urban minor arterial from US 80 to Windmill Farms Boulevard. Segment 2 would involve the expansion from a two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane divided urban arterial (six-lane divided ultimate) from Windmill Farms Boulevard to SH 205.  

The proposed alignment generally matches the existing alignment. The existing horizontal curve south of University Drive would be realigned. The proposed project includes the replacement of an existing bridge structure over Big Brushy Creek and replacement of five existing bridge class culverts and four non-bridge-class culverts. The proposed typical section includes closed drainage (curb-and gutter and storm sewer) for FM 548 for the entire limits of the project.
