A 1.3-mile section of US 377 from Henrietta Creek to just north of Hwy. 114 will be widened from a two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane urban corridor with sidewalks and a raised median. “The roadway expansion will increase mobility, reduce congestion and improve safety,” said Kendall Kirkham Sloan, public information officer with the TxDOT Dallas district.
