DALLAS AND KAUFMAN COUNTIES
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is the lead agency proposing to improve US 80 from I-30 to FM 460 in Dallas and Kaufman counties. The public hearing was held on Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at the Mesquite Convention Center/Hampton Inn, Salon A at 1700 Rodeo Drive in Mesquite. Displays were available for viewing at 6 p.m. with the formal hearing starting at 7 p.m.
The purpose of the hearing was to present the planned improvements on this 11-mile project and to receive public comment. The US 80 improvements would reconstruct and widen US 80 from I-30 in Dallas County to FM 460 in Kaufman County, within the cities of Dallas, Mesquite, Forney and the town of Sunnyvale. US 80 from I-30 to FM 460 is a four-lane, controlled-access highway.
Within Dallas County, US 80 has continuous one-way frontage roads with two to three travel lanes in each direction. Within Kaufman County, US 80 has discontinuous two-way frontage roads with one-travel lane in each direction. The current facility is within an existing right of way (ROW) that is approximately 300 feet in width and expands to 1,000 feet at major interchanges.
