Paris & DALLAS DISTRICT corridor PROJECTs update Northeast Texas Rural Transportation Summit November 1, 2018

I-635 LBJ East Project Limits: I-635 from US 75 to I-30 Description: Improve mobility, operations, and safety by reconstructing and widening 8 to 10 general purpose lanes, reconstructing the existing “grandfathered” tolled managed lanes, adding noise walls, and constructing continuous frontage roads Est. Design-Build Cost $1,603,645,627 Approved Funding (FY 2019 UTP) LBJ East Project includes full reconstruction of I-635 from US 75 to I-30. Will reconstruct and widen the general purpose lanes from 8 to 10 lanes. Will reconstruct the I-635/I-30 interchange. Will reconstruct the discontinuous frontage roads to continuous frontage roads. Will construct noise walls. Estimate design-build project cost is $1.6 billion. The project is fully funded. ROW Status: 120 total parcels 97 are in possession All parcels are anticipated to be acquired by late Summer 2019 RR Exhibits: Preliminary coordination with all affected railroads has begun. TxDOT will coordinate a preliminary Exhibit A for coordination and agreement purposes. The Design-Build team can use that Exhibit A or modify as necessary to move forward. Utilities: In advance of the Design-Build contractor, TxDOT is coordinating with the relocation of transmission lines in the project limits. We are planning to begin relocations by the end of the year and to have the transmission lines clear by Summer 2019. Will reconstruct the existing “grandfathered” tolled managed lanes along I-635. The proposed project is constructing 1 concurrent managed lane in each direction, striped with a wide shoulder. The pavement will be constructed to accommodate the future ultimate 2 concurrent managed lanes in each direction. There will not be additional ROW acquisition or utility relocations required for that ultimate condition. The pavement will exist and it will be a striping/barrier moving project. Cannot speculate as to when the commission and our regional leaders will allow the additional managed lanes.

I-635 LBJ East Project Purpose and Need Improve safety and mobility Address existing design deficiencies Relieve congestion Increased capacity Provide reliable travel time “Grandfathered” existing managed lanes Accommodate projected growth through the region The project will improve safety and mobility by reconstructing to current design standards. This means improving geometry and improving short entrance and exit ramps. The increased number of general purpose lanes will relieve congestion. The existing grandfather managed lanes will provide a reliable travel time.

I-635 LBJ East Project Existing Typical Section Proposed Design-build Note: Additional capacity shown in purple. Existing is 4 general purpose lanes in each direction and 1 tolled managed lane in each direction. Proposed is 5 general purpose lanes in each direction and 1 tolled managed lane in each direction. Purple shows added capacity.

I-635 LBJ East Project *Subject to Change LBJ East is currently in a design-build procurement Request for Qualifications was released in May. 4 teams submitted. TxDOT shortlisted to 3 teams in July. Currently working with potential DB Contractors in one-on-one meetings. Anticipate releasing the final RFP in November. Anticipate conditionally awarding the project in May with contract execution by the end of August 2019.

I-30 Frontage Roads from Bass Pro to Dalrock and Dalrock Interchange This piece of I-30 is currently in detailed design: PS&E should be complete by April 2020 Schematic is approved Environmental is Clear ROW Acquisition: Spring 2020 Utility Relocations: Spring 2021 Bass Pro Interchange Currently evaluating and working with North Central Texas Council of Governments to include with the active frontage road project. Mr. Mo Bur, our Dallas District Engineer, met with the City of Garland’s Transportation Committee and discussed the proposed ramp locations. Moving the ramps closer to Bass Pro in the WB direction introduces operational issues as well as the potential to backup traffic onto the main lanes of I-30.
