and terminating at existing US 69 north
of Jacksonville.
The EIS will evaluate a range of build
alternatives and a no-build alterative.
Possible build alternatives include up to
four alignments currently under
development based on the 1000-foot
recommended corridors identified in
the 2018 US 69 Jacksonville Relief
Route Study Feasibility Study. These
alternatives generally consider
alignments along the center, west, and
east limits of the corridor with
variations at interchanges, but may
extend outside the corridor for a portion
of the alignment to avoid key
environmental features. The
northernmost corridor connects with
existing US 69 approximately 1.3 miles
north of CR 3908, travels on the west
side of Jacksonville, and reconnects
with existing US 69 at the existing TX
456 Loop. The southernmost corridor
connects with existing US 69 at CR 3908
and joins the previously described
corridor north of US 175.
TxDOT will issue a single Final
Environmental Impact Statement and
Record of Decision document pursuant
to 23 U.S.C. 139(n)(2), unless TxDOT
determines statutory criteria or
practicability considerations preclude
issuance of a combined document. In
accordance with 23 U.S.C. 139,
cooperating agencies, participating
agencies, and the public will be given
an opportunity for continued input on
project development. A public scoping
meeting is planned for November 2019
in Jacksonville, TX. An agency scoping
meeting will also be held with
participating and cooperating agencies.
The agency and public scoping meetings
will provide an opportunity for the
participating/cooperating agencies and
public to review and comment on the
draft coordination plan and schedule,
the project purpose and need, the range
of alternatives, and methodologies and
level of detail for analyzing alternatives.
In addition to the agency and public
scoping meetings, a public hearing will
be held. Public notice will be given of
the time and place of the meetings and
hearing.
