The meeting will be held on Thursday, May 16, 2019 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Argyle Middle School, located at 6601 Canyon Falls Drive, Roanoke, Texas 76262. Representatives from TxDOT and project consultants will be available to answer questions about the proposed project. The meeting will be held in an open house format from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with no formal presentation. The proposed project consists of the construction of the northbound and southbound frontage roads for IH 35W from Dale Earnhardt Way in the City of Fort Worth to south of the IH 35E/IH 35W interchange in the City of Denton, Texas. The frontage roads would consist of one 12-foot wide inside travel lane, and one 14-foot wide outside shared-use lane with two-foot wide curb offsets, and a six-foot wide sidewalk in both directions. Other improvements would include changing the IH 35W ramp configuration from a conventional diamond to a reverse diamond (X ramp), and flipping the Farm-to-Market (FM) 1117 (Cross Timber Road), Old Justin Road, and John Paine Road/ Allred Road interchanges so that the IH 35W mainlanes cross over these streets. The existing right- of-way (ROW) width ranges from 300 to 700 feet. The proposed ROW width would range from 390 to 460 feet. The proposed project would require additional ROW. Maps showing the proposed project’s location and preliminary geometric design will be available for viewing at the public meeting. This information will also be on file and available for public inspection at the TxDOT Dallas District Office, 4777 E. Highway 80, Mesquite, TX 75150.
