Description

Press release from City of Fort Worth: July 13, 2021 Work continues on the I-820 East Loop project in east Fort Worth. Bridge construction on State Hwy. 10 and the I-820 northbound to State Hwy. 121 southbound bridges is progressing where bridge beams will be placed over highways this summer. Crews are working to complete new bridges and mainline pavement on the outside of the I-820 corridor between Randol Mill Road and Trinity Boulevard. The most recent aerial photographs of the project are now posted.  As part of the Texas Clear Lanes initiative focused on improving mobility throughout the state, the I-820 East Loop project was begun by the Texas Department of Transportation in July 2018. The work is part of a $3.8 billion congestion relief initiative started by Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Legislature to reduce gridlock in some of the state's most congested areas. Project improvements will reconstruct the existing roadway and access ramps, build additional lanes in each direction, replace the Trinity River bridge and create new direct connectors to and from State Hwy. 121.   Photo: A July 1 photo shows construction progress on the I-820 and State Hwy. 121 interchange.     Get articles like this in your inbox.
