Clear Lanes Progressing in State’s Most Populous Areas By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT
The second-most populous state in the country continues to grow by an average of 1,100 per day, with state demographers predicting that the populations in five metropolitan areas (Austin, Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth and San Antonio) may double by 2050. These areas represent more than twothirds of the state’s total population and are the only metro areas in Texas with populations over 1 million. Approximately 97 percent of the state’s most congested roads are found in these areas. Because, according to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, 93 percent of Texans rely on personal vehicles as primary means of transportation and drivers in these five regions are each losing, on average, about 52 hours and $1,200 annually due to traffic congestion, Gov. Greg Abbott challenged the Texas Transportation Commission and the Texas Department of Transportation in 2015 to “… create a focused initiative to identify and address the state's most congested chokepoints and work with transportation planners to get new roads built swiftly and effectively …” Formulating a Plan Texas Department of Transportation is being proactive by taking measures to reduce traffic congestion. It began with the appointment of a task force charged with identifying the worst points of congestion and formulating a plan. TxDOT leaders then went on a listening tour to better understand the issues of concern.
The state approved an initial $1.3 billion of new funding for congestion relief in the state’s five largest metropolitan regions, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth and San Antonio.
The task force submitted a proposal of relief in 2016, which was approved by the Commission, who provided an initial $1.3 billion of new funding for congestion relief in the state’s five largest metropolitan regions. According to TxDOT, the initiative includes 14 projects, which adds up to more than 42 mi., including interchanges and flyovers, “for congestion relief at some of the state’s worst chokepoints.” The projects will be funded using two years of funding made available through legislative action to end the diversion highway money for other agencies’ use. TxDOT predicts that the
advancement of these projects to construction will produce an estimated cost savings of $438 million. Dallas-Ft. Worth The Dallas-Ft. Worth area has seen extreme growth in the past few years. In order to keep up with it, said Maria Woodrow, public information assistant for NorthGate Constructors, a joint venture, roadway construction has become a necessity to help connect various sections of the cities. The DFW Connector project is part of the overall $3.8 billion Texas Clear Lanes.
Positioned north of the airport, west of Dallas and east of Fort Worth, Woodrow explained that “this stretch of highway is where commuters are connected to and from all three major destinations.” The project is one of many funded through TxDOT’s Texas Clear Lanes program addressing congestion relief, which Woodrow said is improving mobility in North Texas and across the state. “The various Texas Clear Lanes projects will improve drive times, reduce costs to Texas drivers and improve the community’s quality of life. This initiative is provided by Governor Greg see CLEAR page 18

TxDOT Commissioner Unveils Plans to Add $4.3B to I-35
The funding pulled together for I-35 in Austin will not have any impact on projects in the area currently in the procurement process.
The total investment on the I-35 Capital Express Project now stands at $7.5 billion.
In an effort to accelerate funding and construction on I-35 through Central Texas, the Texas Transportation Commission discussed a proposed plan at its meeting last month to add an additional $4.3 billion to build new lanes on I35 through Austin. The funding would be in addition to alreadyapproved amount, bringing the total investment on the I-35 Capital Express Project to $7.5 billion. Full funding for the central segment of the I-35 Capital Express Project would require three additional funding decisions. The first source is about $3.4 billion in discretionary funding that the Commission will discuss. The second needed source of funding would be more than $600 million from TxDOT funds previously allocated to the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), which would need to be reprioritized from planned projects that have not yet gone into the procurement process. The I-35 Capital Express Project is CAMPO’s top priority project for the region. The third component of the funding is about $300 million that will be considered by the Commission when it votes on the 2021 Unified Transportation Program in August 2020. The new funding is the result of years of planning and discussions with Gov. Greg Abbott, regional transportation planners and stakeholders. “Chairman Bruce Bugg and the
ward, adding two continuous nontolled managed lanes in each direction along the 7.9-mi. section on I35 from U.S. 290 East to U.S. 290 West/SH71. Additional auxiliary lanes in various places and frontage roads would also be built. The funding pulled together for I-35 in Austin will not have any impact on projects in the area currently already in the procurement process, including U.S. 183 North and the Oak Hill Parkway project. In fact, in the CAMPO region, there are projects that will continue totaling an additional $267 million; $107 million are funded by local funds, and $160 million are funded TxDOT funds. The new construction should be well underway as additional traffic on I-35 through Austin is expected. Between 2016 and 2040, it is projected that we will add an additional 116,000 vehicles per day on I-35 bringing the I-35 corridor in Austin more pressure and congestion than ever before. For these reasons, Bugg said, “Any further delay in funding improvements to I-35 is simply unacceptable.” For the past three years, I-35 in Austin has ranked second or third of the state’s Top 100 Most Congested Road Segments. Addressing this congestion issue is a statewide strategic priority project, not only for Austin, but for the state of Texas and the nation. “It’s finally time to address Austin’s worse congestion chokepoint once and for all,” said Bugg.
Texas Transportation Commission have made tremendous progress to fully fund and deliver the I-35 Capital Express Project as a nontolled project,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “This project will relieve traffic congestion for all those who travel on I-35 through Austin, while helping our capital city meet the needs of a growing population.

Construction Projects to Continue in Lone Star State
TxDOT says it remains committed to delivering services to its customers all over the Lone Star State.
TxDOT is acting to help reduce the risk of COVID-19. The department recently took several steps to protect the public and TxDOT employees. At the same time, TxDOT remains committed to delivering services to its customers all over the Lone Star State. Work on projects to improve the transportation system continues, as does TxDOT’s ongoing work to maintain and operate its state’s transportation system, to include ferry operations. Given the recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to cancel gatherings of 50 or more people and the request from President Donald Trump to avoid gatherings larger than 10 people, TxDOT is postponing or canceling
its in-person public hearings and gatherings through April 3. That date is subject to change. This excludes the Texas Transportation Commission meeting on March 26, 2020, which will be addressed separately. When possible TxDOT will look to offer virtual participation strategies for public input. TxDOT has closed the lobbies of its 12 Travel Information Centers until further notice to help combat the threat of the virus. Outside restrooms will remain available at all times and will be regularly cleaned between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The safety rest areas on highways throughout the state remain open. These provide important rest stops for drivers. Travelers also can still speak

with our center counselors about road conditions or travel information between 8 a.m.and 5 p.m. Anyone can call 1-800-452-9292 or visit drivetexas.org to obtain road condition information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As awareness is key, on March 14, TxDOT began sharing safety messages on its digital highway signs throughout the state. These messages include, “Give Xtra Space, With Each Other, And On The Road” and “Hands Clean, 2 Beat Covid-19, Be on TX Team.” These are short, easy to read messages
to help reinforce the importance of preventing the spread of the virus. In conjunction with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s disaster declaration related to COVID-19, TxDOT also required its office-based employees to telework beginning March 16. Teleworking has been an option for TxDOT office-based employees for several years now, and with this temporary new directive, TxDOT will continue serving the state’s transportation needs. TxDOT’s number one priority is always safety, and the agency is in constant contact with state health and emergency management officials to do its part during this global health situation.
City of El Paso Gets $28M for Montana RTS Corridor The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recently announced a $28.22 million grant to the city of El Paso for the Montana Rapid Transit Service (RTS) Corridor project. The project will provide faster, more reliable transit service to important destinations in downtown El Paso, the El Paso International Airport and the Far East Transfer Center. “This $28.22 million federal investment will provide residents along the Montana Avenue Corridor better access to jobs, educational opportunities and other services,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao. The Montana RTS Corridor project is a 16.8-mi. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service operating along the Montana Avenue Corridor. The total project cost is $49.2 mil-

lion with $28.22 million in funding requested through FTA’s Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program.
“FTA is proud to join our partners in Texas to improve public transportation in El Paso,” said FTA Acting Administrator K.
Jane Williams. “The Montana RTS Corridor project will provide fast and efficient service, improving mobility and travel times in this busy corridor.” Funding for the Montana RTS Corridor project is provided through FTA’s Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program, which provides funding for major transit infrastructure projects nationwide. Projects accepted into the program must go through a multiyear, multi-step process according to requirements in law to be eligible for consideration to receive program funds. Since Jan. 20, 2017, FTA has advanced funding for 26 new CIG projects throughout the nation totaling approximately $7.6 billion in funding commitments. With this recent funding agreement, this administration has executed 23 CIG funding agreements totaling $4.6 billion in CIG funding.

Abbott and the Texas Legislature through TxDOT to reduce gridlock in some of the state’s most congested areas.” The 3-mi. project in Dallas-Ft. Worth, which began in July 2018, will reconstruct and widen State Highway 121 north of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and increase connectivity between I-635, SH 121, SH 26 and FM 2499. The Bass Pro Drive bridge also will be widened and reconstructed along the frontage roads. The project will improve safety as well by adding new auxiliary lanes that will move merging vehicles out of the SH 121 main lanes. In addition, the I-635/SH 121 Interchange project will widen direct connectors and frontage roads, as well as increase capacity along Bass Pro Drive. According to TxDOT, the SH 121 interchanges at I-635 and FM 2499 were included in the initial DFW Connector project, but funds were not available at that time to deliver the entire scope. With the Texas Clear Lanes congestion relief funding, this portion of the original project can be delivered. The $370 million project is a joint-venture with Fort Worth-based Kiewit Texas Construction L.P. and San Antonio-based Zachry Construction Corporation. Some major sub-contractors include WSP, McRyan Hauling and Breda Company. Working in a major metropolitan area creates numerous challenges for the crews. The biggest challenge, Woodrow said, is working in the middle of a congested interchange. “Moving materials, pouring concrete [and] setting lane closures, all while maintaining the flow of traffic for third-party vehicles,
means all crew members always need to remain focused.” To stay safe and focused requires insisting that planning is a top priority. She said NorthGate ensures daily plans, weekly plans, four-week plans and 120-day plans are integrated with all disciplines and crews. “The grading, structures, paving, roadway, utility, roadway and drainage disciplines at NorthGate work every day to reach substantial completion in 2022,” Woodrow said. In order to do this, traffic phasing and traffic switches are key for the completion of their work. Throughout the entirety of the project, there will be 30 major traffic switches and 80 minor traffic switches, with roughly 265,000 linear ft. of temporary barriers throughout all these switches. To execute the work, NorthGate utilizes a variety of equipment, such as dozers, excavators, loaders, cranes, slipform pavers, articulated haul trucks and telehandlers, ranging in size. The Manitowoc 999 Crane with 275-ton capacity is the largest crane that NorthGate has used on the project. “Projects like the SH 121 project will improve drive times, reduce costs and improve quality of life for our Texas drivers,” Chairman J. Bruce Bugg Jr. said in a TxDOT press release. “Texas’ legislative leadership and TxDOT’s Transportation Commission are committed to reducing congestion. I am grateful to Senator Jane Nelson and Representative Giovanni Capriglione for their support in making these funds available.” The project is estimated for completion in 2022. CEG
