Flatiron Works to Rebuild I-820 East Loop in Fort Worth By Irwin Rapoport
The $177 Million Project Includes Building of 15 New Bridges, Widening Roads
CEG CORRESPONDENT
Construction of the $177 million, I-820 East Loop project in the Greater Fort Worth Area has made significant progress since the project broke ground in late July 2018 as part of the state’s Texas Clear Lanes initiative to alleviate traffic congestion in a heavily traveled part of the Dallas-Fort Worth roadway system. The multi-phase project is reconstructing I-820 from SH 121/183 to Randol Mill Road (5
Flatiron Construction was awarded the contract for the $177 million, I-820 East Loop project in the Greater Fort Worth Area, which is expected to be complete by March 2022.
The multi-phase project is reconstructing I-820 from SH 121/183 to Randol Mill Road (5 mi., two lanes in each direction and adding two more lanes) within the city limits of Fort Worth, Hurst and Richland Hills; and SH 121 from Handley Ederville Road to the south interchange with I-820 (3 mi., two lanes in each direction and adding two lanes).
mi., two lanes in each direction and adding two more lanes) within the city limits of Fort Worth, Hurst and Richland Hills; and SH 121 from Handley Ederville Road to the south interchange with I820 (3 mi., two lanes in each direction and adding two lanes). Flatiron, awarded the contract in early 2018, is expecting to achieve substantial completion in March 2022. The widening covers the north and southbound directions of I-820 and the east and westbound direc-
tions of SH 121. The 15 new bridges, including the direct connect ramps — 1 mi. in length, will eliminate the previous interchanges, which were deemed to be more complex and time-consuming to maneuver. The bridge construction translates into one million sq. ft. of bridge deck and 140,000 linear ft. of concrete girders. The new road and bridge infrastructure was designed by Jacobs Engineering Group. see REBUILD page 12
