The Texas Department of Transportation in February will hold virtual and in-person public hearings about a Highway 6 corridor study in Brazoria County.
The access management study will focus on the portion of Highway 6 from east of Highway 35 to the Galveston County Line, identifying ways to reduce crashes, improve mobility, and support development.
An in-person meeting to gain public input is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 13, at the Alvin Community College Nolan Ryan Center, 2925 Bypass 35 South in Alvin.
