The $259 million project - $87.5 million of which is through Texas Clear Lanes - will improve safety and mobility while reducing congestion by widening the connector ramps to two lanes, increasing sight distances and vertical clearances, and providing remedies to eliminate weaving, TxDOT said.
The project also calls for adding shoulders on the I-610 West Loop mainlane bridge over I-69 and adding detention ponds.
