| Purpose | TxDOT is proposing to improve FM 460 from FM 740 to US 80, and FM 740 from Ranch Road to north of Maverick Drive in Kaufman County. |
| Description | The proposed project would reconstruct and widen FM 460 between US 80 and FM 740, and FM 740 between Ranch Road and Maverick Drive in Kaufman County from a two-lane roadway to a four (ultimate six lane) divided highway. A continuous 6-foot sidewalk will be provided on one side of the proposed roadway alignment and a continuous 10-foot shared use path on the other side. The proposed project consists generally of four (ultimate six lanes) with curb and gutter, plus a raised median. The roadway passes through the cities of Forney and Heath. The existing FM 740/FM 460 right-of-way (ROW) width ranges from 90-feet wide throughout the length of the project. The proposed ROW width is 140 to 155 feet wide. The overall project length would be approximately five miles. The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require additional right of way and potentially displace residential and commercial structures. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and businesses. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program and services and benefits for those displaced and other affected property owners can be obtained by calling the TxDOT Dallas District Right of Way office at 214-320-6675 or by visiting the project website. |
| Accessibility | 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 review the project materials or submit information, please contact the TxDOT Public Information Office at 412-320-4480 no later than 4 p.m., Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
