- Reconstruction of 5 miles of roadway through a vital energy sector corridor
Project Overview
The Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) I-20 improvements project will reconstruct a 5.1 mile stretch of I-20 in Odessa, Texas, part of the vital energy sector corridor. The 3.5-year project from JBS Parkway to CR1300 on I-20 is the first of a $1.35 billion program of five major projects slated to rebuild I-20 from Odessa through Midland, Texas over the next 10 years.
To minimize the project’s impact on traffic and meet an aggressive schedule, the project team devised a unique approach to transporting concrete. The team transported materials from an on-site concrete batch plant using a conveyor belt that ran over the highway. This innovation used recycled materials that would otherwise be discarded and improved safety and efficiency in a densely populated section of Texas Highway.
Once complete, I-20 will be transformed to three lanes in each direction with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) allowing for smoother, safer travel and increased capacity through the corridor. Along with adding lanes, the project consists of four bridge structures, grading, cement-treated base, flex base, hot mix asphalt, retaining walls, drainage, signs, signals, ITS and illumination.
