(a) Purpose. A notice of impending construction informs individuals affected by certain projects that construction will begin.
(b) Notice Requirements under Transportation Code, §203.022(c).

The means of providing notice may include a sign or signs posted in the right-of-way, mailed notice, printed notice distributed by hand, or notice via website when the recipient has previously been informed of the relevant website address. The notice must be provided after a CE determination or issuance of a FONSI or ROD for the project, but before earthmoving or other activities requiring the use of heavy equipment begin.
