San Augustine County road work among initial list of projects funded by Proposition 1 funds

A section of US Hwy. 96 in San Augustine County is among some 200 initial road projects statewide the Texas Department of Transportation will be funding with Proposition 1 money this year.

 

The proposed $7 million project would add passing lanes and reconstruct pavement on US 96 from the Shelby County line, southward to FM 3451 in San Augustine County.

 

The first-round projects were announced at a public meeting Tuesday.

 

TxDOT is accepting formal public comments regarding the proposed projects from Jan. 23 to Feb. 23.

 

Comments can be submitted via email to TPP_UTP@txdot.gov or by phone 800-687-8108.

 

In December, the Texas Comptroller certified that $1.74 billion would be available for transportation in 2015.

 

Proposition 1 was passed by Texas voters in November.
