TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NEWS: Notice and Opportunity to Comment on SH 6 Reconstruction – Gorman

Construction Workers

By Subcontractors USA News Provider

Purpose: 

The TxDOT Brownwood District is proposing to improve SH 6 from 0.18 Miles north of Crescent Street to the Comanche County line in Gorman, Eastland County, Texas. This notice is affording an opportunity to comment as part of the environmental review process for this project. All comments must be postmarked or received on or before Monday, May 17, 2021.

Description: 

The project involves reconstructing the roadway to include adding a continuous center-turn lane, curb and gutter, pedestrian facilities and storm drainage. This will involve work within the city of Gorman for approximately 1.34 miles and include approximately 3.52 acres of new right of way (ROW). Storm sewer installation work is proposed along SH 6 and to FM 8 to an outfall at a culvert just south of FM 8 at FM 679. 

The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require additional right of way and potentially displace one residence and three non-residential structures. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and businesses. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program and services and benefits for displaces and other affected property owners, as well as information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and construction, can be obtained from the TxDOT district office by calling (325) 643-0415. 

The project materials are written in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to review the project materials or submit information, please contact Lisa Tipton, TxDOT Brownwood District Public Information Officer, at (325) 643-0413 no later than 4 p.m. CT, at least three business days before the date you would like to review the project materials or submit information. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for TxDOT to arrange. 

Memorandum of Understanding:

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated Dec. 9, 2019, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT.

Please call (325) 643-0413 or visit https://www.txdot.gov/ for more information.
