TxDOT sets Hwy. 82 widening hearings

By Tracy R. Mesler

The Texas Department of Transportation will hold two “Public Review and Public Comment” hearings on the proposed widening of U.S. Highway 82 from Nocona to Henrietta later this month.

The proposed project would widen the 2-lane federal highway to a divided, four-lane highway for a distance of approximately 27.4-miles connecting existing 4-lanes of paving to further expedite vehicular traffic.

The first hearing will be held in Henrietta on Monday, June 24, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Holman Center, 211 N. Clay Street, in Henrietta.

The second hearing will be held on Tuesday, June 25, also beginning at 6 p.m. at The Veranda Inn, 1523 E. U.S. Hwy. 82.
