TX FW TECH MULTI (1), Various Routes & Parking

The project is in the Texas Chenier Plain Wildlife Refuge Complex, which includes a string of coastal refuges that harbor much of the coastal migratory bird habitat along the upper Texas coast. Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge and McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge are managed as part of the Complex. In 2017, the Complex suffered damages as a result of Hurricane Harvey requiring repairs to roadways, parking areas, and associated transportation infrastructure.

The proposed improvements will be contained within the Texas Chenier Plain Wildlife Refuge Complex boundaries. The action area consists of approximately 16.4 miles of existing roadways and the improvements are listed below by project scheduling. The project includes reconstruction of a portion of the existing asphalt, chip seal maintenance to reseal and prolong the pavement life within the existing roadway boundaries, improve surface drainage and remove an existing low spot that does not drain properly.

Work will be contained to the existing parking lot footprint with no additional widening.
