Public Notice          Project Plans

 

The applicant proposes to widen the existing four-lane divided highway to a six-lane divided highway between Farm-to-Market (FM) Road 518 and SH 96 and construct a grade separated intersection at SH 146 and SH 96 near Kemah.  The proposed roadway widening project would result in the permanent loss of 17.58 acres of jurisdictional wetlands (3.36 acres were previously permitted under SWG-2007-00769 in 2018) at 19 single and complete crossings.  The purpose of the expansion is to accommodate future traffic volumes, increase availability for hurricane evacuation, and upgrade permeability and drainage; therefore, the overall project purpose is to increase safety of the traveling public and mitigate flooding.  (3.36 acres were previously permitted under SWG-2007-00769 in 2018) at 19 single and complete crossings.
