FM 2185 Extension from Looney Spur Road to FM 3541, Culberson County, Texas. The project will extend FM 2185 and reconstruct parts of existing facilities as a ‘‘Super 2’’ roadway. A Super 2 roadway is a twolane rural highway with periodic passing lanes. The project will extend for a total of 29.66 miles, starting from approximately 750 feet south of the intersection with Looney Spur Road and traversing along Smileys Road for approximately 4.89 miles, branching off onto Weatherby Road and following Weatherby Road for approximately 9.64 miles before branching off at the Nevel Road intersection. The project will then continue for approximately 9.22 miles onto an area that was not previously used for transportation before connecting to Rustler Springs Road and will follow Rustler Springs Road for approximately 5.91 miles before ending at FM 3541, which is approximately 6.19 miles south of RM 652. The Super 2 roadway will consist of one 12-footwide travel lane in each direction with a 12-foot-wide passing lane along alternating sides of the roadway. Directions of travel will be separated by a 2-foot-wide, flush at-grade median, and 10-foot-wide shoulders will be constructed along both sides of the roadway. Drainage will continue to consist of an open ditch drainage system, with a 6-foot-wide drainage ditch along alternating sides of the roadway. Twenty-one bridge-class culverts and 43 non-bridge-class culverts are proposed as part of the FM 2185 drainage system. 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 March 5, 2024, and other documents in the TxDOT project file.

The improvements consist of three 12foot-wide travel lanes with typical tenfoot inside shoulders in each direction divided by a concrete barrier along the centerline. The improvements will also include one-way continuous two-lane frontage roads in each direction with ramp improvements that connect frontage roads to mainlanes with an auxiliary lane. Pedestrian and bicycle accommodations are proposed to include ten-foot shared use paths on the outside of the frontage roads in each direction. The project is approximately 12 miles in length.

The project will provide a limited access, new location roadway around the south side of the City of Madisonville. It will include two 12foot-wide travel lanes in each direction separated by a 68-foot-wide grassy median. The travel lanes will be bounded by 4-foot wide inside and 10foot-wide outside shoulders. Through the Caney Creek floodplain, the 68-footwide grassy median would be replaced by a concrete median barrier and 10foot-wide inside shoulders on each side. Construction will also occur along US 190/SH 21 to provide turning lanes onto the new roadway, and along Interstate Highway (IH) 45, where new ramps will provide access to and from the proposed roadway. There will be grade separations at the crossings of SH 90, SH 75, IH 45, Pee Dee Lane, and the Caney Creek floodplain. No dedicated bicycle or pedestrian accommodations would be constructed as part of the proposed project. Drainage along the new roadway will be provided via open ditches.
