Engineering
The objective of this project is to widen and reconstruct County Line Road between
University Blvd (SH 177) and Broadway to include two general purpose lanes in each
direction to match the typical section of County Line Road on either side of the project
limits. This project also addresses existing roadway geometric and drainage deficiencies,
resulting in a safer and more environmentally friendly roadway. As a result of federal funds
being used for project construction, a noise analysis was conducted, requiring the project to
construct noise mitigation walls on the north side to shield affected residents.
