I-20 to Markum Ranch Road and I-30 to Linkcrest Drive

The proposed project would include three new interchanges on I-20 and one new interchange on I-30. Portions of the existing frontage roads along I-20 and I-30 would be reconstructed and shared-use paths for bicycle and pedestrian accommodations would be provided. The project includes operational improvements to existing cross streets, main lanes, ramps and auxiliary lanes. The existing facility would be upgraded to meet current TxDOT design criteria. Additionally, the project would evaluate necessary drainage improvements.

The environmental review, consultation and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated Dec. 19, 2019, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT.

Project background

  • Between 1973 and 1986, I-20 and I-30 (within the project limits) was constructed
  • In 2012, TxDOT and FHWA approved a schematic and Interstate Access Justification Report for the proposed Walsh Ranch Parkway interchange at I-30 (and other related improvements)
  • In 2016, the I-30/Walsh Ranch Parkway interchange construction was completed with the Walsh Ranch Parkway Bridge over I-30 and construction of a ramp and frontage road improvements from the I-20/I-30 interchange to near the Parker/Tarrant County line
  • In 2018, construction was completed to widen the FM 1187/FM 3325 Bridge over I-20. The bridge was widened to a five-lane section with sidewalks and included frontage road intersection improvements
