Full Public Notice     Project Plans     Mitigation Plans

The applicant proposes to construct a controlled access tolled highway from FM 1016/Conway Avenue east to US 281/Military Highway.  The project would initially be developed as a four-lane divided controlled access toll facility divided by a grassy median with rights-of-way reserved for future widening for the final facility when necessary.  The final facility would consist of six travel lanes divided by a median with a concrete barrier.  The 16.53-mile-long study corridor is primarily a new location within a typical 300-foot right-of-way (ROW), which varies from a minimum of 160 feet to a maximum of 400 feet.  The project will include non-toll improvements along US 281/Military Highway from a point 0.45-mile east of Spur 600 to FM 2557/Steward Road and a 0.70-mile one-lane connector from the Pharr Border Safety Inspection Facility with limits from US 281/Military Highway to Spur 29/Veterans Boulevard.  The applicant’s stated purpose of the proposed project is to relieve congestion and increase mobility on local and regional transportation facilities by improving east-west mobility and interconnectivity, reduce community disruption associated with increasing freight movement, address safety concerns regarding the mix of vehicle types and conflicting movements on the arterial and local street network.
