TxDOT FM 550 Widening Project

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is widening road shoulders from FM 740/549 in Heath to SH 205 in McLendon-Chisholm. This project will not be adding any additional travel lanes. The existing pavement will be removed and new based installed. The contractor has completed the new pavement for the first 1-2 mile section from FM 740/549 and will progress toward SH 205 working in 1-2 miles sections at a time. It is estimated that each section will take about a month to complete. The section in front of City Hall is expected to be paved by mid-September and the reminder completed sometime in November. Please use caution while traveling in the area.
