Description:
The US 77 Woodsboro-Refugio Improvement Project would upgrade the corridor as part of the future development of Interstate 69 (I-69) to meet interstate standards. This includes upgrading existing and new location facilities to a 4-lane divided freeway with controlled access (exit/entrance ramps and overpasses). The proposed project would extend for a total of approximately 13 miles, beginning just south of Woodsboro and ending approximately 3 miles north of Refugio.
Through the town of Woodsboro, the proposed project would upgrade the existing 4-lane divided highway to an elevated 4-lane divided freeway with at-grade frontage roads. North of Woodsboro, the existing roadway would be upgraded to a 4-lane divided freeway that would then bridge across the Union-Pacific Railroad to the east, beginning the roadway on new location. Existing US 77 north of this bridge would become Business (Bus.) 77 and would continue to be a state-maintained roadway.
The new location roadway north of Woodsboro would be elevated (i.e. a bridge) through areas of floodplain and continue east of Refugio, tying back to US 77 east of the Union-Pacific Railroad line. The new location roadway would have a typical right-of-way (ROW) width of 400 feet but would vary between 320 and 500 feet. Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to be completed in phases.
Access to Refugio would continue via Bus. 77 from Woodsboro. US 183 would be extended approximately 1 mile to the east on new location roadway to connect to the new US 77 roadway. This US 183 connection would have an overpass over the railroad tracks. Interchange access would also be provided at FM 774.
