Construction has begun on the widening project on I-30 from Kings Highway to the Arkansas border in Texarkana. Now we can stay in the know of what's going on and where because the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has created a website to explain the project and give regular updates on its progress.

You can get to the webpage through the TxDOT website by entering the keywords “I-30 Widening Texarkana” in the search area, and the project webpage will be the first listed. To receive regular updates on the project via email, use the “Subscribe to Updates” button and insert your email address.

According to the webpage, the first phase of work will involve building up the shoulders of the highway on each side in preparation for the next phase that will be working in the median area. This first phase will be conducted at night from 8PM to 6AM each day and is scheduled to begin Sunday evening (last night August 15).

The Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, maritime, rail, and public transportation across the state. Through collaboration and leadership, we deliver a safe, reliable, and integrated transportation system that enables the movement of people and goods.  Find out more at TxDOT.gov.
