Fort Worth Area Future Highway Projects

• I35W Construction - As ramps are removed and rebuilt, temporary ramps will be built to accommodate motorists.When construction is complete, access to I-20 from the Alta Mesa Boulevard area will be available from the I-35W northbound frontage road to the I-20/ Oak Grove Road or Campus Drive entrance ramps or from Hemphill Street north to I-20.
  
  Access to the Alta Mesa Boulevard area from I-20 is available by exiting on Hemphill Street, Oak Grove Road or Campus Drive.The I-35W southbound bridge at Sycamore School Road will have one lane added, and the I-35W bridge at Alta Mesa Boulevard will have one lane added in both the north and southbound directions. Construction is scheduled to be completed in winter of 2008.
• I-20/I-30 Split to I-820 West - Wire rope safety fence is being installed on I-30 in west Tarrant County. This alternative to
  concrete traffic barrier has been shown to prevent crossovers at a significantly reduced cost. The first wire rope used by TxDOT was installed in 2003 along I-820 in north Fort Worth. Since the mid-1990s, TxDOT has increased its efforts to install median barrier in high traffic areas to prevent crossovers. With population growth on the rise, TxDOT plans to
  include median barriers on all future highway expansions in the Metroplex.
• I-30/I-35W Interchange The original I-30/I-35W Interchange was completed in 1958 as the first four-level, direct connection interchange in Texas and one of the first in the country. U.S. 80 and U.S. 81 were the highways that interchanged with one another. U.S. 81 was designated I-35W in 1959 and U.S. 80 was designated I-30 in 1972. The new I-30/I-35W Interchange was completed in 2003 after seven phases to reconstruct the interchange and its onnections
  to downtown Fort Worth with I-30 at Lancaster Avenue, Henderson Street, Macon Street, Cherry Street and Summit Avenue.
• I-820 West to Oakland Blvd The first segment of present-day I-30 was opened from Camp Bowie Boulevard to Summit Avenue at the end of World War II. Originally created as SH 550, it became I-20 in 1957 when the interstate system was created and the Dallas/Fort Worth Turnpike was opened between U.S. 81 (I-35W) and I-35E. Built in several contracts, the interstate was extended west to SH 183 and east to I-35W by 1960. In 1972, I-20 became I-30 when I-820 from Hulen Street to Mansfield Highway was designated the new I-20. Prior to I-30 and I-20, U.S. 1 was the main route between Fort Worth and Dallas. Later, U.S. 1 became U.S. 80, then SH 180 (Lancaster Avenue).
• Oakland Blvd. to SH 161 Improvements planned for I-30 include expansion from six lanes to eight lanes from Oakland Blvd. to I-820 and from six lanes to 10 lanes from I-820 to the proposed SH 161. Also included will be a one to two lane
  reversible high occupancy vehicle (HOV)/ managed lanes facility in the median from west of Fielder Road to the proposed SH 161.
• SH 170 to US 820 - Future improvements planned for I-35W north of I-820 include expansion from four lanes
  to six/eight lanes with a new I-820 interchange. A managed lanes facility will be included in the median.
