BILLING CODE 7040–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Denton and Collin Counties, Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Federal notice of intent to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to applicable 

Federal regulations, FHWA, on behalf of 

TxDOT, is issuing this notice to advise 

the public that an EIS will be prepared 

for a proposed transportation project 

CSJ 0918–46–341, to construct a six-lane 

freeway primarily on new location 

connecting Interstate 35 (I–35) in 

Denton County, Texas with the Dallas 

North Tollway (DNT) in Collin County, 

Texas. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Liang Ding, P.E., Project Manager, 

TxDOT Dallas District, 4777 East 

Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150; 

Phone (214) 320–6625; email: 

Liang.Ding@txdot.gov. TxDOT’s normal 

business hours are 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. 

(central time), Monday through Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

environmental review, consultation, and 

other actions required by applicable 

Federal environmental laws for this 

project are being, or have been, carried 

out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 

and a Memorandum of Understanding 

dated December 9, 2019, and executed 

by FHWA and TxDOT. 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to address population and travel 

demand growth and support safe and 

resilient east-west mobility and 

connectivity across Denton County. The 

need for the proposed action is driven 

by (a) rapid population growth and 

increasing traffic volumes that are 

contributing to congestion, (b) higher 

crash rates along Study Area roadways 

compared to the statewide average, and 

(c) limited mobility due to the lack of 

contiguous east-west arterials. 

The proposed six-lane accesscontrolled freeway with one-way 

frontage roads on each side would be 

constructed within an anticipated 

typical right-of-way footprint 500 feet 

wide and extend about 23 miles across 

northern Denton County connecting I– 

35 to the DNT in Collin County, CSJ 

0918–46–341. In addition to the build 

alternatives, project alternatives to be 

considered include the No-Build 

Alternative, transit and other 

transportation modes, and 

transportation system management. 

In May 2024, Denton County 

concluded the Denton County Outer 

Loop Feasibility Study that 

recommended two general end-to-end 

alignments for the construction of the 

proposed freeway connecting I–35 and 

the DNT. This EIS will evaluate four 

build alternatives and the No-Build 

Alternative. The following five segments 

from the recommended feasibility study 

alignments combine to form the four 

build alternatives under consideration: 

Segment A connects I–35 on the west 

along a primarily new location 

alignment to Farm-to-Market (FM) Road 

428 near FM 2153. Segment A follows 

a section of Rector Rd. from I–35 to 

Trietsch Rd. 

Segment B also connects I–35 on the 

west on a primarily new location 

alignment to FM 428 near FM 2153. 

Segment B follows a portion of Milam 

Rd. from I–35 to FM 2164. 

Segment C is the common segment for 

all four build alternatives considered, 

extending along the existing alignment 

of FM 428 between FM 2153 and 

Wildcat Rd. which crosses the Elm Fork 

Trinity River and the Ray Roberts Lake 

State Park Greenbelt in the center of the 

Study Area. 

Segment D connects Wildcat Rd. on 

the west to the DNT on the east in Collin 

County. Segment D is primarily on new 

location except where it follows 

sections of FM 428 between FM 1385 

and the DNT. 

Segment E also connects Wildcat Rd. 

on the west to the DNT on the east in 

Collin County. Segment E is primarily 

on new location except where it follows 

sections of Blackjack Rd. and FM 428 

between FM 1385 and the DNT. 

These segments, when linked end-toend connecting the logical termini of I– 

35 and the DNT, result in the Red, 

Purple, Blue, and Gold Alternatives 

described below. 

The Red Alternative is composed of 

Segments A, C, and D for a length of 

about 23.3 miles. The Red Alternative 

begins at I–35 and Rector Rd. in Denton 

County and travels east to FM 2164, 

then curves north and back south to 

connect to FM 428 near FM 2153. It 

follows FM 428 over the Elm Fork 

Trinity River to slightly west of the City 

of Aubrey where it curves around the 

north edge of Aubrey crossing US 377, 

to continue east, then curving south to 

connect to FM 428/Spring Hill Rd. west 

of FM 1385, and continues east along 

the general alignment of FM 428 to 

connect to the DNT in Collin County. 

Grade-separated interchanges would be 

considered at I–35, US 377, the DNT, 

and other major road crossings. 

The Purple Alternative, about 22.7 

miles long, is composed of Segments A, 

C, and E. It begins at I–35 and Rector 

Rd. in Denton County and travels east 

to FM 2164, then curves north and back 

south to connect to existing FM 428 

near FM 2153. It follows FM 428 over 

the Elm Fork Trinity River to slightly 

west of the City of Aubrey where it 

curves around the north edge of Aubrey 

crossing US 377, tying into Blackjack 

Rd. and following Blackjack Rd. to the 

east and curving south to cross FM 2931 

to follow the general alignment of FM 

428/Spring Hill Rd. to the east to 

connect to the DNT in Collin County. 

Grade-separated interchanges would be 

considered at I–35, US 377, the DNT, 

and other major road crossings. 

The Blue Alternative is composed of 

Segments B, C, and E for a length of 

about 22.4 miles. The Blue Alternative 

begins at I–35 and Milam Rd. extending 

east along Milam Rd. to FM 2164 where 

it curves north and east to follow 

Shepard Rd. and then curves south to 

connect to FM 428 near FM 2153. It 

follows FM 428 over the Elm Fork 

Trinity River to slightly west of the City 

of Aubrey where it curves around the 

north edge of Aubrey crossing US 377,
