TxDOT planners Thursday revealed plans for the Interstate 30 segment from Ferguson Road in East Dallas to Bass Pro Drive in Garland.

“You’re trying to get home and you’re sitting in traffic for two hours and you’re five minutes from home, so yeah, it gets pretty bad,” driver Breana Chappell said.

The segment east of Ferguson has no feeder roads beside the main freeway lanes. So, accidents cause big delays with no parallel alternative path. “Certainly, reducing congestion is a very big part of this, and improving safety as well,” Mitchell said. “We’re looking at not only doing improvements to the highway lanes but also in constructing continuous frontage roads, that would have shared use paths for bicycles and pedestrians.”

The 12-mile segment currently includes a reversible express lane with a zipper barrier moved back and forth to change the direction of travel.“Make it wider so you could have one side going and one side coming back this way,” he said. A construction project is already underway for new ramps to Interstate 635 that crosse over I-30. A new and wider bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard to the east of this segment is also under construction. Separate plans for the I-30 segment west of Ferguson Road are soon to be released, Mitchell said.
