Mines Road (FM 1472) Segment 1 Feasibility Study
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Laredo District is conducting a feasibility study for Mines Road (FM 1472) Segment 1 from I-69W to two miles north of FM 3338 in Webb County, TX.
What is a feasibility study?
A feasibility study addresses issues including benefits, costs, effectiveness, alternatives considered, analysis of alternative selection, environmental effects, public opinions, and other factors. A feasibility study:
- Helps to determine if the project should move forward to a more in-depth environmental analysis, public involvement, schematic design and right-of-way mapping.
- Determines the needs and goals, assesses environmental and engineering constraints, and identifies preliminary route options based on coordination with working group members comprised of city and county officials and stakeholders.
- Gathers input from the public and community
- Collects additional technical analysis to refine and recommend route options for further development.
- Develops a starting point for any future phases of project development, including environmental study
Needs and goals
The Mines Road (FM 1472) Segment 1 Feasibility Study will identify existing and future transportation needs. The study will develop concepts for addressing those needs and improving conditions for the traveling public and commercial vehicles along Mines Road.
