About The Project
The Southeast Connector is a design-build Project in the Fort Worth District consisting of approximately 16.6 miles of non-tolled improvements to I-20 from Forest Hill Drive to Park Springs Boulevard, to I-820 from I-20 to Brentwood Stair Road, and to US 287 from Bishop Street to Sublett Road. The Project components include the design, construction and maintenance of the roadways, which includes the following:
- I-20 from Forest Hill Drive to Park Springs Boulevard: construction of one additional general-purpose lane, plus four-lane collector-distributors, in each direction; the reconstruction and realignment of existing GPLs, frontage roads, US 287/I-20 interchange, and on- and off-ramps.
- I-820 from I-20 to Brentwood Stair Road: construction of two additional general-purpose lanes, plus one additional frontage road lane, in each direction; the reconstruction and realignment of existing GPLs, frontage roads, I-20/I-820 interchange, SP 303/I-820 interchange, US 180/I-820 interchange, and on- and off-ramps.
- US 287 from Bishop Street to Sublett Road: construction of one additional general-purpose lane in each direction; the reconstruction and realignment of existing general-purpose lanes, frontage roads, US 287/I-820 interchange, and on- and off-ramps.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The following objectives have been developed by TxDOT for Southeast Connector:
- Improve overall mobility, operational efficiency, accessibility, safety, and emergency response within the area by providing additional capacity to meet current and future travel demands.
- Minimize delays to the traveling public and inconvenience to the surrounding communities while maximizing safety in the corridor during construction.
- Facilitate long-term congestion management and relief in the corridor by accommodating the movement of people and goods for multiple modes of travel.
- Improve connectivity within the Project area to adjacent parcels by increasing multi-modal transportation facilities within the Project area.
- Complete the Project on schedule, on budget and to the highest degree of quality possible.
