NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will conduct a public hearing and open

The purpose of the propcsed rroject is to extend Spur 98. The proposed project would begin

extended, on new location, to the west and north across the Guadalupe River and tie to
existing State Highway 27 and FM 1338 (Goat Creek Road) and terminating at FM 1338. The
project will consist of four travel lanes with additional turning lanes at intersections, and
including sidewalks and curbs. The bridge structure typically will be four (11-foot) lanes with
curbs and asix-foot sidewalk on each side of the bridge. The total length of the project is
approximately 1.189 miles. Approximately 18.12 acres of additional right of way is proposed
to be acquired. The proposed right of way acquisition would also result in the acquisition of
one business.
