TxDOT offers opportunity to comment on planned intersection realignment project FM 3099

The Texas Department of Transportation is offering an opportunity to comment on a proposed project to improve a portion of FM 3099 and its intersection with US highway 180. Project limits include a portion of FM 3099, from Northglen Road to 0.2 miles south of US 180 in Breckenridge, along with the intersection at US 180 in Stephens County, Texas. The public may provide comments to TxDOT through March 24 as part of the environmental review process for this project. The purpose of the 0.826-mile project is to improve safety at this intersection.

This project involves realigning an intersection to match the northern intersection of FM 3099. This will involve work to the south of US 180 on FM 3099 for approximately 0.2 miles and include less than 1.7 acres of new right of way (ROW). From just north of US 180 on FM 3099, work will include rebuilding driveways, and resurfacing the roadway for approximately 0.4 miles to Northglen Road. Work on US 180 will include construction for approximately 800 feet to the west of current southern intersection and 850 feet to the east of the current intersection to allow for restriping, constructing a right-turn lane, adding traffic signals, replacing culverts and adding sidewalks.

The cost of the project is estimated at approximately $1.7 million. Letting is scheduled for winter of 2022 and construction is anticipated to begin spring or summer of 2023.
