The proposed project begins at a point 0.2 mile northeast of the north city limits of Hale Center in Hale County and ends at the Swisher-Randall County Line at Happy, Swisher County. The length is approximately 52 miles with approximately 19 miles on new location. Plainview, Kress, Tulia and Happy are located along this route. Highway improvements proposed are construction of a controlled access multi-lane divided roadway including frontage roads, interchanges, grade separations and safety rest areas. Beneficial environmental effects are: Safety and comfort of traveling public; safer busing operations for school districts; higher property values; decrease in traffic sounds in urban areas; movement of fire protection equipment and movement of military vehicles. Adverse effects are: Displacement of families, businesses and nonprofit organizations; dividing of farms; and by-passing of businesses in Kress, Tulia, and Happy which depend upon highway traffic as a major source of income.
