This corridor currently serves as an integral east-west connection for both travel and trade in Texas. As the interstate ages and trade increases, identifying opportunities for improvement becomes more critical, according to officials. They say assessing the current corridor conditions and identifying future growth potential are important to ensuring this route meets the needs of the region for decades to come.<\/p>\n<p>The Draft Implementation Plan resulting from this study provides programmatic recommendations along the I-20 corridor, as well as project-level recommendations categorized into Near-Term (2015-2020), Mid-Term (2021-2030), and Long-Term (2031-2040) phases.   In addition, information about the plan along with comment forms will be available in person at seven locations along the 155-mile corridor. TxDOT will accept comments until Nov. 7, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>To review and comment on this plan:<\/p>\n<p>Access the Virtual Open House at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/I-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/I-20<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Via the TxDOT YouTube channel: youtu.be\/3L4V2b8SfqY <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Access the project\u2019s web page at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.txdot.gov\/inside-txdot\/projects\/studies\/statewide\/i20-east-corridor.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.txdot.gov\/inside-txdot\/projects\/studies\/statewide\/i20-east-corridor.html<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>To review materials in person, visit the following locations:<\/p>\n<p>Texas Travel Information Center<br \/>\n1255 Interstate 20<br \/>\nWaskom, TX 75692<\/p>\n<p>Canton Visitors Bureau<br \/>\n119 N Buffalo St.<br \/>\nCanton, TX 75103<\/p>\n<p>Terrell Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center<br \/>\n1314 Moore Ave.<br \/>\nTerrell, TX 75160<\/p>\n<p>Longview Convention and Visitors Bureau<br \/>\n410 N Center St.<br \/>\nLongview, TX 75601<\/p>\n<p>Gateway Travel Plaza<br \/>\n4403 Texas 42<br \/>\nKilgore, TX 75662<\/p>\n<p>Tyler State Park<br \/>\n789 Park Road 16<br \/>\nTyler, TX 75706<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce<br \/>\n315 N Broadway Ave. #100<br \/>\nTyler, TX 75702<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUSTIN \u2013 The Texas Department of Transportation is hosting Virtual Open House meetings to seek public feedback on the I-20 East Texas Corridor Draft Implementation Plan.
