This project, <br />which will include a new overpass at Barbour's Cut Blvd., is scheduled to begin in the tall <br />ot 1995. <br /> <br />As a part ot this project, it will be necessary tor TX DoT to acquire additional right-of-way <br />at numerous points along the project. Under TX DoT statutory authorizations, the City <br />ot La Porte is required to participate in right-ot-way acquisition in the amount ot 10% ot <br />the right-ot-way costs.
