Description:

The proposed project would widen I-30 between I-45 and Ferguson Road from eight mainlanes (four in each direction) to ten mainlanes (five in each direction) and add two reversible managed lanes in the center median.  The total distance is approximately five miles.  The proposed mainlanes would be depressed to a lower elevation than that proposed frontage roads.  Access ramps throughout the project would be reconstructed.  The project would construct new cross street bridges across the depressed mainlanes.  A DART bridge and adjacent pedestrian bridge would also be constructed.  Sidewalks would be constructed or reconstructed on both sides of all street crossings at I-30 and a shared use path would be constructed alongside the outer frontage road lanes in most cases. 

Special Accommodations:

The virtual public hearing and in-person option will be conducted in English.
