Is There A Plan To Place Spur 527 Below Grade?
TxDOT plans to replace the currently elevated Spur with a similarly elevated roadway. A Neartown neighborhood group wants TxDOT to instead place the new Spur below grade, the way US 59 is now configured along much of the Richmond / West Alabama corridor. Postponing Spur reconstruction for several years to protect neighborhoods from unmanageable traffic would also give TxDOT an opportunity to fully evaluate Spur design proposals.
