TxDOT HOSTING VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING ON CHAPPELL HILL INTERSECTION

  

Now through December 22nd, the public can offer input to TxDOT on proposed improvements to the intersection of Highway 290 and FM 1155 in Chappell Hill.  TxDOT is hosting a virtual public meeting and is seeking feedback from the public on three concepts designed to improve traffic operations and enhance safety of the intersection.

The video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pVBpUGeu60

Concept 1 would block the direct north/south movement through the intersection and allow drivers to make a U-turn further down highway 290 in order to cross the highway.

Concept 2 is the traditional overpass design with the Highway 290 traffic bridged over the 1155 – Main Street traffic.

Concept 2Concept 3 moves 3 miles of Highway 290 to a location south of Chappell Hill with bridges over Chadwick-Hogan Road, Nicholson Lake Road, and FM 1371.  This design would require acquiring the most right of way.

To access the virtual meeting, go online to www.txdot.gov and keyword search “US 290 at FM 1155.”  Anyone without internet access can call Bryan District Project Manager Mark Poage at 979-778-9655 to ask questions during the project development process.

Written comments regarding the project can be submitted by mail to the TxDOT Bryan District Office, Attn: Mark Poage, P.E., 2591 North Earl Rudder Freeway, Bryan, TX 77803.  Comments can also be emailed to Mark.Poage@txdot.gov.  All comments must be received on or before December 22nd.
