Project - TEXAS: Express Toll Lanes on I-30/Tom Landry in Dallas
The project opened in August 2007 as an interim "Managed HOV Lane". The project is operating in HOV only mode. It will transition to "Express Lanes" with pricing in later phases as the tolling infrastructure is constructed.
Operational Status
January - March 2012 Update
To find out more about the project go to:
www.keepitmovingdallas.com and select 'Interstates', then select 'IH 30 Managed Lanes' and then open links to documents.
Progress on planned activities:
- The "I-30 Value Pricing Pilot Program for the Dallas District" final project report has been posted August 2010. Current Post-Opening Metrics are also posted thru October 2010.
- Construction of the IH-30 and SH-161 (Toll road) interchange is underway. This may affect the operations of the I-30 lanes in that area.
Activities planned for the future:
- The project is in final design for a fall 2012 letting to begin construction. This project should take 18 months to complete. Toll systems and testing may take longer.
- A TxDOT Research Project 0-6396 is being implemented for use on the I-30 project as a test bed for "Application of the Traffic Thermostat Framework." This is a tool to collect data to support the use of a pre-determined set of performance measures to adjust pricing or operations.
- Finalization of the operational aspects of the managed lane for HOV designation, enforcement and operational responsibilities.
