VAN – A construction project to relocate the I-20 Westbound Frontage Road at the Farm Road 314 Exit in Van Zandt County is getting underway. the Texas Department of Transportation says traffic control barricades will be put in place on Wednesday to kick off construction. The project is being conducted in two phases.
Phase I starts on Wednesday with a portion of the I-20 Westbound Frontage Road closing for several months from approximately 500 feet east of the current exit ramp to about 3,250 feet eastward. The existing ramp and frontage road from the ramp west to FM 314 will remain open during this phase of work. Phase I consists of reconstructing the frontage road and building the new exit ramp 1.13 miles east of FM 314.
Phase II work will consist of constructing a detour from the FM 314 intersection eastward for about 2,000 feet, and completing the frontage road west to the intersection. The contractor for the $4.7 million project is Longview Bridge and Road. Completion is expected in summer 2017.
