The Texas Department of Transportation is in the design stage for these projects that are expected to provide for increased traffic capacity at the three I-35E intersections—Main Street, SH 121 Business and Corporate Drive, according to the city of Lewisville Engineering Department.
Lewisville officials have been told the cost of the three projects to the state is expected to be at least $200 million, city spokesperson James Kunke said. Property acquisition has already begun, he said.
Construction on the earliest of the three projects is not expected to begin until 2023. That is when crews are expected to begin their work at SH 121 Business and Corporate Drive. The third project at Main Street is scheduled for 2025, Kunke said.
While the state is funding and managing the bulk of the projects, the city has pledged assistance as well, Kunke said.
“The City will participate by relocating utility lines and funding aesthetic improvements similar to those at FM 407 interchange and Garden Ridge interchange,” Kunke said in an email.
