Thank goodness!

Hey - one thing I noticed is that it wasn't wide enough to support a 4 lane road - comfortably. That is kind of surprising, as you would think as much development is going on in our neighborhood (and what will be going on over time, not to mention allocating for traffic coming to/from the growing Heath and Rockwall areas)...that someone would be planning to make 740 a 4-lane road in the not too distant future.

It's not wider for job security.  That way there can be another project in 5 or 6 years.

From what I've seen with TxDOT is seems to be working 10-20 years behind the actual demand. So I don't know how long replacing that bridge has been in the works (it was under construction when we moved to Travis Ranch in May of last year) but I imagine they only had the plans and budget to pay for the basic replacement of the bridge - not expanding it for future growth.

If we do get to a point where FM 740 needs to be widened in the next 5-10 years - then they'll come back in 15-20 years and actually do it (and widen the bridge then) - or expect the city of Forney to pay for it since it's within their city limits ;-).
