TxDOT Meeting about 1939 Brazoria bridge

        The Texas Department of Transportation is undergoing project planning regarding the historic truss bridge at SH 332 over the Brazos River in Brazoria, located between SH 36 and FM 521 in Brazoria County.  Some of you may have spoken to my colleague Julie Beaubien regarding this project yesterday.  We've identified you as someone that is interested in the bridge's history.  TxDOT is planning a stakeholder meeting on Thursday, November 16, 2017, from 5:30-7:30 PM at Barrow Elementary School, located at 112 Gaines Street in Brazoria, TX 77422 (see attached map).
       We will be sharing a short presentation and presenting potential options for the future of this historic bridge moving forward. There will be a discussion afterward and we encourage you to provide your feedback. This is not a formal TxDOT hearing - just an opportunity for interested parties to talk to us, and for TxDOT to hear from you.
      We would appreciate confirmation of your attendance; please let us know if you plan to attend no later than Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017.
     Thank you very much and hope to see you there!  Please contact me with any questions.
