The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is sponsoring two open house meetings to discuss and gather public input on the proposed route study for upgrading U.S. Highway 59 between Texarkana and Queen City to interstate standards.
This study includes possible routes on new locations near Texarkana.
The Queen City Open House will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 24 at the Morris Upchurch Middle School, 500 Fifth St.
Texarkana's Open House will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, July 26 at Liberty-Eylau High School, 2905 Leopard Drive.
TxDOT is proposing to upgrade U.S Highway 59 to interstate standards for the future I-369 in the area. This will include making the highway a controlled access facility with frontage roads servicing local property owners and businesses, as needed. This study includes possible routes on new location near Texarkana.
All interested citizens are invited to attend one of the open houses to express their views and discuss the project. TxDOT personnel will be available at each open house to answer questions and receive written comments from those in attendance.
