Description:
The project is sponsored by the North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority.
The limits of the proposed project are from the existing Toll 49 Segment 5 terminus at State Highway (SH) 110, southeast of Tyler, to U.S. Highway (US) 271, northeast of Tyler. The existing Toll 49 roadway extends from US 69 in northwest Smith County, approximately 25 miles southeast to SH 110.
There is no existing facility; therefore, the project is proposed on a new location. The proposed roadway will consist of an interim two-lane facility (one lane in each direction) with an intermittent single passing lane that alternates direction along the length of the corridor (Super 2) and an ultimate four-lane divided highway.
The EIS will evaluate a range of build alternatives and a no-build alternative. Possible build alternatives include three route options identified in the Toll 49, Segment 6 Feasibility Study completed in November 2019. The three route options begin at the Toll 49, Segment 5 terminus at SH 110, end at different locations on US 271, and range from 10 to 13 miles long.
