BEAUMONT — The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking public input on the future of US 287, a corridor that spans 671 miles from Port Arthur to Amarillo and plays a major role in moving people and goods through Texas.

The section of US 287 from I-10 to US 190 is part of other studies and is not included in this study.

The comprehensive study will evaluate transportation needs and identify potential multimodal solutions to help improve safety and connectivity. TxDOT is asking the public to participate in a survey to share their experiences traveling along the corridor, challenges for safety and mobility, and provide insights into priorities for US 287.

“This study is an opportunity for TxDOT to hear from communities, businesses, and the broader public what this corridor should look like and how it can connect communities and foster economic opportunities for Texans for years to come,” TxDOT corridor planning branch manager Lorena Echeverria de Misi said.

The public is also encouraged to leave comments about specific locations along the corridor on an interactive map.

Both the survey and the interactive map will be available from Aug. 15 – Sept. 27 on the TxDOT website
