	Public Hearings I-820 (I-35W to SH 26) July 1, 2008 SH 121/183 (I-820 to SH 161) Late Summer 2008 I-35W (I-30 to I-820) Spring 2009 I-35W (I-820 to Eagle Parkway) Spring 2009

I-820 Public Hearing Scheduled

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced the public hearing for Northeast Loop 820 will be held Tuesday, July 1 at 7 p.m. at the Richland Hills Church of Christ located at 6300 North East Loop 820 in North Richland Hills, with displays available for viewing at 6:30 p.m.

The 6.4-mile project would include the reconstruction of the existing lanes and the addition of four tolled managed "express" lanes and two non-toll lanes from Interstate 35W to the Northeast Interchange, including a new multi-level interchange at I-35W.

This project is being studied as Segment 1 of the North Tarrant Express. Three private sector firms are competing to accelerate improvements on these and other segments along I-820, SH 121/183 "Airport Freeway" and I-35W by combining express lanes and high occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV). A final selection of a best value proposer is expected by this fall. Construction could begin on Northeast Loop 820 in 2009 at the earliest.
