Purpose
The purpose of the hearing is to gather public input and provide information about the proposed
project.
Description
The proposed project would reconstruct and widen FM 543 in stages based on traffic volumes and available funding. Initial construction would consist of four travel lanes (two in each direction) with a grass median and would be widened to the inside once warranted by traffic. The project would ultimately consist of six 12-foot-wide travel lanes (three in each direction) with a raised median ranging from four to 24 feet wide. The proposed project would also realign FM 543 between CR 201 and CR 168 to enhance safety along FM 543. Eight to 10-foot-wide shared use paths would be constructed along both sides of the proposed FM 543 roadway. The proposed right of way (ROW) width would vary between approximately 118 to 293 feet.
Accessibility
The virtual public meeting and in-person option will be conducted in English. If you need an interpreter or document translator because English is not your primary language or you have difficulty communicating effectively in English, one will be provided to you. If you have a disability and need assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. If you need interpretation or translation services or you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend and participate in the virtual public meeting or in-person option, please contact the TxDOT Public Information Office, at (214) 320-4480, no later than 4 p.m. CT, Monday, May 18, 2026. Please be aware that advance notice is required as some services and accommodations may require time for the Texas Department of Transportation to arrange.
