Mid City Times

Want to stay in the know about the Texas Department of Transportation's Southeast Connector Project and how construction activity may affect your commute? Each Friday, the City of Arlington will share the latest information about the $2.1 billion project, which will rebuild and widen approximately 11 miles of I-20, I-820 and US 287 between now and 2027.

 Residents can also add their contact information on the Southeast Connector Project website to receive updates directly via text or email. 

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 below are subject to changes due to weather and schedule. For more information, project photos and a full list of detours and closures, please visit the Southeast Connector Project website. Residents can also contact info@southeastconnector.com or call 844-820-2870.

Please note: Speed limits are now reduced to 55 mph within the entire corridor.
