FM 1171
Interim Improvements
Flower Mound officials worked with TxDOT to address safety concerns in relation to FM 1171 and implement interim improvements that will address those issues prior to and during construction of the new road.
The most significant improvements included intersection improvements, separate bays for turning vehicles, and short lanes to maneuver around waiting vehicles. These improvements are the most effective interim measures as most accidents occur at or near intersections.
While FM 1171 is under construction, TxDOT and the Town will continue to investigate additional improvements. Suggested improvements and their current status are listed below.
TXDOT has agreed to combine Phase 2 (Shiloh Road to US 377) and Phase 3 (US 377 to I35W) together to expedite the project and minimize the impact of construction on the community, which is anticipated to start November 2012.
