Description:

The Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDOT), in conjunction with the City of Dallas, proposes reconstructing and widening improvements to the segment of the I-30 East Corridor from I-45 to Ferguson Road in Dallas, Texas, a distance of approximately 5 miles. The project improvements propose to reconstruct and widen eight to ten general purpose lanes and reconstruct four/six discontinuous frontage roads. The project improvements also propose the reconstruction and widen of one reversible High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane to 2 reversible managed lanes. 

The proposed improvements would include ten general purpose lanes (five in each direction), two reversible managed lanes, discontinuous two to three lane frontage roads in each direction, and reconstruction of ramps and bridge structures. The proposed I-30 main lanes and managed lanes would be depressed from I-45 to Dolphin Road. Accommodations for bicycle and pedestrian travel along the project corridor are a component of project development. The proposed ROW typically ranges from 308 to 505 feet in width. The proposed improvements would require additional ROW of approximately 12 acres and would also provide opportunities for potential surplus ROW to be sold at fair market value to the City or County or others interested if the City of County chooses not to purchase.

The proposed typical section for the proposed project consists of the following: 
•    10 mainlanes (five 12-foot lanes in each direction) with 10-foot inside and outside shoulders; 
•    two reversible managed lanes (tolled) in the center median of I-30 (12-foot lanes) with 10-foot and 4-foot shoulders and a barrier to separate the managed lanes from the mainlanes; and 
•    one to three-lane discontinuous frontage roads (12-foot lanes) in each direction with curbs; in most instances, a 10-foot-wide shared use path (bicycle and pedestrian) would typically be constructed adjacent to frontage roads.
