About

The Southeast Connector is a Design-Build (DB) Project in the Fort Worth District consisting of approximately 16 miles of non-tolled improvements to I-20 from Forest Hill Drive to Little Road, to I-820 from I-20 to Brentwood Stair Road, and to US 287 from Bishop Street to Sublett Road. This project has been identified through the Texas Clear Lanes Initiative, a stategic plan, to address congestion, safety and mobility in the area.

This DB Project includes the design, construction, and maintenance of the roadways, which includes the following:

I-20 from Forest Hill Dr. to Park Springs Blvd.: Construction of 1 additional general purpose lane (GPL), 4-lane collector distributor roads (CDs), in each direction. Reconstruction and realignment of existing GPLs, frontage roads, I-20/ US 287 interchange and ramps.  This includes the Deferred Work Component (DWC) #3: I-20 from Little Rd. to Park Springs Blvd., which will be constructed at a later time.

I-820 from I-20 to Brentwood Stairs Rd.: Construction of 2 additional GPL in each direction. Construction of 1 additional frontage road lane in each direction. Reconstruction and realignment of existing GPLs, frontage roads, I-20 / I-820 interchange, and ramps. This includes the Deferred Work Component (DWC) #1: I-820 from Ramey Ave. to Brentwood Stairs Rd., which is currently under construction.
