BACKGROUND
This project, located at Bonnie View Road and Interstate Highway 20, is an on-system project being constructed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). It widens the bridge to add turn lanes, improves the approach, and replaces the traffic signal system.
This project is federally funded Surface Transportation Block Grant and the required match is paid by TxDOT. Although this is a TxDOT project, because the City initiated the request for the project, the City must agree to pay any cost overruns.
State and federal funding approved for this project totals $2,718,645.00 and the engineer's cost estimate is $2,481,972.00 indicating that there is sufficient funding for the project with limited risk to the City for cost overruns.
This project was approved by the North Central Texas Council of Government's Regional Transportation Council (RTC) in 2008, and this project is on the RTC's "Milestone Policy" which means it is subject to losing funding unless it goes to construction this year.
TxDOT anticipates letting this project in May. Construction typically starts two to three months after letting.
