FM 1846 (Oscar Williams Road) - prerecorded video presentation

The Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority (CCRMA), in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Cameron County, and the City of San Benito, is proposing to widen and reconstruct FM 1846 (Oscar Williams Road) from Business 77 to San Jose Ranch Road in Cameron County, Texas. The scope of the proposed project would include widening 1.62 miles of the existing two lane rural roadway to four lanes within a proposed 140-foot-wide right of way (ROW). The proposed 82-foot-wide roadway would consist of four 12-foot-wide travel lanes, a 14-foot wide continuous left turn lane, two 10-foot-wide shoulders, and a 10-foot-wide shared use path on one side of the roadway. Drainage would be handled by roadside ditches. An asphalt overlay would be included as part of the proposed project. Approximately 0.1 miles of incidental construction would occur north of San Jose Ranch Rd. to ensure proper roadway transition. The proposed project is anticipated to require 6.95 acres of new ROW. The proposed project would involve an action in a floodplain. No wetlands or Section 4(f) properties are anticipated in the project area.
