The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 26, 2015, at the Waxahachie Civic Center, 2000 Civic Center Lane, Waxahachie, TX 75165. The purpose of the hearing is to present the planned improvements for Interstate 35E (IH 35E) from United States Highway (US) 77 south of Waxahachie to US 77 north of Waxahachie in Ellis County and to receive public comment. Displays will be available for viewing at 5:00pm with the formal hearing commencing at 7:00pm.

The proposed IH 35E project consists of an 11-mile long segment from US 77 south of Waxahachie to US 77 north of Waxahachie within the cities of Waxahachie and Red Oak, Ellis County, Texas. The proposed project would reconstruct and widen the IH 35E mainlanes from the existing four-lane facility to a six-lane facility. The existing facility consists of two travel lanes in each direction with four-foot wide inside shoulders, 10-foot wide outside shoulders, and a 32-foot wide center median. All proposed construction would occur within the existing right-of-way (ROW), which varies from 300 to 590 feet. No new ROW or easements (temporary or permanent) would be required. Seven bridge replacements within the limits of the project are proposed. Frontage road construction/reconstruction is not planned as part of the proposed project.
