Analysis
This project provides for the construction of a slip (exit) ramp from President George Bush Turnpike (SH 161) southbound direct connector on IH 20 eastbound to tie-in to the IH 20 eastbound frontage road. This will allow access to Carrier Parkway. Resolution on current council; item 17-6897 for LPAFA.
With the upcoming construction of the IH-20 Service Roads, the existing exit ramp for eastbound IH 20 to Carrier Parkway will be relocated west of SH 161 eliminating the ability for vehicles on the toll road to exit at Carrier Parkway. This ramp is necessary to support local businesses and residents that currently use this route to their destinations in this corridor.
The project has been let for construction. Construction is expected to begin in early Fall, 2017 with an anticipated completion in early Spring 2021.
This item will go to CCDC on 7/17/2017 & F&G on 7/18/2017.
