The purpose of the feasibility study is to analyze potential roadway options to improve FM 455, including improving an existing alignment or developing new alignments. The proposed study could potentially result in projects that require additional right of way and include construction in wetlands and an action in a floodplain. The study area is within the City of Celina and ends just west of the City of Weston.
Any maps and drawings showing the study area and preliminary alternatives, tentative schedule, and other information regarding the proposed study are on file and available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Dallas District Office located at 4777 E. Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150.
Study materials are also available online at the study website. These materials will also be available in hard copy form for review at the in-person option. The virtual public meeting and in-person option will be conducted 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 attend and participate in the virtual public meeting or in-person option, please contact the TxDOT Public Information Office, at (214) 320-4480 no later than 4 p.m., Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
