PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project includes reconstruction and widening of FM 740 / FM 548 from a two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane divided urban roadway with raised medians, curb and gutter, a bridge widening at the Mustang Creek crossing, and a 10-foot-wide shared-use path on both sides of the road for approximately 4 miles. The roadway passes through the cities of Mesquite and Forney. The existing FM 740 / FM 548 right-of-way (ROW) width ranges from 60-feet (along FM 740) to 150-feet (along FM 548). Where proposed ROW is needed, the width is generally 130-feet wide.
