By Office of Communication

Want to stay in the know about the Texas Department of Transportation's Southeast Connector Project and how construction activity may affect your commute? The City of Arlington regularly shares the latest information about the $2.1 billion project, which will rebuild and widen approximately 16 miles of I-20 from Forest Hill Drive to Little Road, I-820 from I-20 to Brentwood Stair Road, and US 287 from Bishop Street to Sublett Road. This project is expected to be complete by 2027.

When complete, the Southeast Connector Project will tie in the east and southeast part of Tarrant County to the central part of the county while relieving congestion, increasing safety and improving efficiency for the entire Metroplex.

Closures listed on the Southeast Connector website are subject to changes due to weather and schedule. Please note: Speed limits are reduced to 55 mph within the entire corridor.
