ALICE, Texas — Alice residents will soon have a chance to voice their opinions on the Texas Department of Transportation improvement projects.
TxDOT will host a virtual public hearing for the U.S. 281 Alice Improvement Project on June 30.
An in-person option will also be available at the TxDOT Alice Area Office located at 1071 North U.S. Highway 281 in Alice.
Project improvements include adding main lanes within the center median, with existing roadways becoming the frontage roads.
New overpasses will also be built at County Roads 116,117, and 129 along with new entrance and exit ramps and modifications to existing ramps.
Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2023.
The virtual open house will start at 4:30 p.m. on June 30. It can be found by searching "US 281 Alice Improvement" on the TxDOT webpage.
The public is encouraged to attend and ask questions and provide input.
