US 77 Highway Upgrade
US 77 Highway Upgrade
A TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION PROJECT
|
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is proposing to upgrade US 77 to a controlled access facility that meets interstate standards. The project area extends from the interchange of US 77 and Interstate Highway (IH) 37 in Corpus Christi to the interchange of US 77 and US 83 in Harlingen, with proposed improvements between Robstown and Combes. Parts of the project area have recently been improved to interstate standards, such as from IH 37 to State Highway (SH) 44 near Robstown and from Harlingen to Combes. Based on public input received at pervious public meetings, TxDOT is proposing upgrades to US 77 which includes: new overpasses, new interchanges, new one-way frontage roads, upgrades to existing ramps, and conversion of two-way frontage roads to one-way frontage roads. At Driscoll and Riviera, relief routes are proposed to the east of each community. These relief routes may be tolled and would require approximately 400 feet of additional right of way. While much of the remaining upgrade project would be located within existing right of way, certain upgrade locations in Kleberg and Nueces counties would require additional right of way ranging from 35 to 200 feet adjacent to existing US 77. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve mobility and safety for traffic traveling on US 77 and for communities along this highway. TxDOT will hold Public Meetings in various communities along US 77 in early February 2012.
