US 69/SH 73 Interchange
The TxDOT Beaumont District has approved improvements to the US 69 and SH 73 interchange southeast of Beaumont near Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. This project is now under construction.
Proposed benefits
The project is expected to improve safety and enhance mobility.
Project improvements
Project improvements include:
- Reconfiguring the interchange from the cloverleaf configuration to a turbine (spiral) configuration
- Adding direct connectors
- Adding mainlane improvements

The construction project would occur entirely within the existing right of way and will not result in any displacements.
