The proposed project would widen and realign FM 102 to enhance safety and bring the roadway into compliance with current design standards.
YOAKUM – The Texas Department of Transportation (Tx-DOT) will host an in-person public meeting with a virtual option for proposed improvements to FM 102 from I-10 to 0.66 miles south of FM 949.
