I-30 Hunt County West from FM 2642 to SH 34

implementation

TxDOT's Paris District is proposing improvements to I-30, including reconstruction and widening of the four-lane freeway to six lanes, reconfiguration of access ramps, and incorporation of one-way frontage roads from FM 2642 to SH 34 in Hunt County, Texas. Hunt County is experiencing rapid growth and the I-30 corridor is a vital part of the mobility in the area. The proposed conversion of the one-way frontage road, as well as the added capacity of the freeway within the 12.34-mile project, are needed to improve safety as well as congestion between FM 2642 and SH 34. Proposed improvements to CR 2511/CR 2646, FM 1565, FM 36, FM 1903, and FM 1570 interchanges with I-30 would also enhance connectivity. These solutions are intended to enhance corridor safety by making improvements to decrease the likelihood of crashes and improve localized intersection and interchange safety, mobility and operations. Based on the traffic analysis, the average annual traffic volume is anticipated to increase by around 35 percent and 50 percent in the years 2045 and 2055, respectively throughout this project alignment.
