Primary Local Driving Topic: US 271 Widening
TxDOT is advancing a major US 271 project from Loop 286 in Paris to SH 37 in Bogata.
The proposed 20.6-mile corridor would widen the existing two-lane highway to a four-lane divided highway. The project specifically includes Bogata and the Red River County segment from the Lamar County line to SH 37.
The statewide transportation program placed the Red River County segment in FY 2026 construction programming.
