The Texas Department of Transportation will host a virtual public hearing with an in-person option to discuss the proposed realignment and widening of a portion of FM 973 in Travis County.
As proposed, the project would construct a roadway, partially in a new location, between SH 130 and US 290 east of Manor. The proposed improvements would expand FM 973 from 2 to 6 travel lanes – three in each direction, with a grassy median and turn lanes in various locations. The project would also include drainage improvements, overpasses, sidewalks and shared-use paths.
The virtual hearing will begin on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 at 6 p.m. To log onto the virtual public hearing, go to www.txdot.gov, keyword search “FM 973.” The virtual hearing will consist of a pre-recorded video presentation and will include both audio and visual components. The presentation will remain available for viewing at the web address indicated above until Friday, Aug. 26, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
TxDOT is also providing an in-person hearing option on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 at ShadowGlen Golf Club, 12801 N. Lexington Street, Manor, TX 78653.
Displays will be available for viewing beginning at 4:30 p.m. with the formal hearing beginning at 6 p.m. In-person attendees will be able to view the same presentation delivered in the online public hearing, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions of TxDOT staff and leave written comments.
