    3. US 67 at Lake Ridge Parkway in Dallas and Ellis Counties, Texas. 
The proposed project would include a grade separation at Lake Ridge 
Parkway and the reconstruction of US 67 mainlanes and frontage roads 
from north of Shiloh Road to south of Mt. Lebanon Road. The proposed US 
67 mainlanes would consist of four 12-foot lanes (two in each 
direction), 22-foot inside shoulder, and 10-foot outside shoulders. A 
26-foot wide grassy median would separate northbound and southbound 
mainlanes. The 22-foot inside shoulder would be restriped in the future 
to add one additional travel lane in each direction. The proposed 
improvements to Lake Ridge Parkway would consist of a grade-separated 
interchange with an overpass of US 67, six 12-foot lanes (three in each 
direction), 10-foot raised median, curb and gutter, and Texas U-turns. 
The total project length is approximately 1.9 miles. The purpose of the 
proposed project to reduce traffic congestion, enhance connectivity, 
and improve mobility and safety. The actions by

    4. FM 2001 from I-35 to SH 21, Hays and Caldwell Counties, Texas. 
The project will improve and realign FM 2001 to include construction of 
four travel lanes, two in each direction, with a raised median and 
sidewalks along urban portions of the proposed roadway and a center 
left turn lane and wide outside shoulders in the suburban section. The 
project is approximately 8.5 miles in length. The actions by TxDOT and 
Federal agencies and the laws under which such actions were taken are 
described in the Final Environmental Assessment (EA), the Finding of No 
Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on January 24, 2021 and other 
documents in the TxDOT project file. The EA, FONSI and other documents 
in the TxDOT project file are available by contacting TxDOT at the 
address provided above or the TxDOT Austin District Office at 7901 
North I-35, Austin, TX 78753; telephone: 512-832-7000.
    5. Loop 1604 from SH 16 to I-35, Bexar County, Texas. The project 
will expand Loop 1604 to a ten-lane expressway. The layout of auxiliary 
lanes and entrance and exit ramps would be reconfigured. The 
interchange at I-10 would be modernized by removing the cloverleaf 
connectors, adding direct connectors, and replacing the signalized 
frontage road intersections with a continuous flow configuration. The 
project would include accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians, 
water quality protection, and other highway features. All improvements 
would be located within the existing right of way and easements. The 
project is approximately 24 miles in length. The actions by TxDOT and 
Federal agencies and the laws under which such actions were taken are 
described in the Final Environmental Assessment (EA), the Finding of No 
Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on February 4, 2021 and other 
documents in the TxDOT project file. The EA, FONSI and other documents 
in the TxDOT project file are available by contacting TxDOT at the 
address provided above or TxDOT San Antonio District Office at 4615 NW 
Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78229; telephone: (210) 615-5839.
    6. US 377 from BUS 377E to US 380, Denton County, Texas. The 
proposed project would reconstruct, realign, and widen US 377 within 
the proposed limits. Improvements would include the expansion of the 
current 2-lane rural roadway to a 6-lane urban roadway with a raised 
median. Improvements would consist of 12-foot-wide travel lanes, 14-
foot-wide outside shared-use lanes, and 5-foot sidewalks. The length of 
the proposed project is approximately 13.7 miles. The purpose of the 
proposed project is to reduce traffic congestion on the existing 
roadways; to improve operations of the roadway; to increase mobility 
(including pedestrian and bicycle accommodations); and, to provide 
improved connectivity to the area. The actions by TxDOT and Federal 
agencies and the laws under which such actions were taken are described 
in the Final Environmental Assessment (EA), Finding of No Significant 
Impact (FONSI) issued on February 17, 2021 and other documents in the 
TxDOT project file. The EA and other documents are available by
