Five Corners Realignment
Description: A new design that reduces the turning movements through this acute angled intersection was adopted and approved by TxDOT eliminating the "Bypass". The new design extends from FM518 to FM2064 and rejoins FM270 on the north side of the Shell station. This project will reduce some of the congestion experienced at the three-arterial (FM518, FM2094, and FM270) lighted intersections.
Location: The new design extends from FM518 to FM2064 and rejoins FM270 on the north side of the Shell station.
Status: Design is 45% complete (Occam Engineering). TxDOT has approved the alternative. For construction phase, City is anticipating $4,521,000 from State Grant Funds matching funds of $1,000,000.
Breakdown of The Numbers:
Why It's Needed: Reducing turning movements reduces accidents and increases safe traffic flow. As the City grows, increasing traffic flow in a safe, controlled traveled way will become more important. This project does both and saved the City approximately $5 million from the original design.
