The City of Arlington is providing weekly updates on the Texas Department of Transportation's Southeast Connector Project, a significant $2.1 billion initiative that will rebuild and widen approximately 11 miles of I-20, I-820, and US 287 over the next few years. Residents can stay informed about construction activity and potential impacts on their commutes each Friday.
To receive direct updates via text or email, residents can add their contact information on the Southeast Connector Project website. Once completed, the project aims to connect the eastern and southeastern parts of Tarrant County to the central region, alleviating congestion and enhancing safety and efficiency across the Metroplex.
