"Best of the TxDOT Podcast: I-30 Expansion Brings Economic Opportunity To Arlington"




TxDOT-Statewide Podcast show

Summary: From May 2009: Any project to expand the interstate in a heavily populated area such as the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is by its very nature going to be a massive undertaking. And while driving through such a project can be an inconvenience, especially on a daily commute, such projects have an untold upside that can last for generations. In Arlington, where TxDOT is widening Interstate 30, one such benefit has been the billion-dollar construction of Cowboy Stadium. For more on what expanding Interstate 30 has meant - and will mean - to the city of Arlington, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and the State of Texas, I spoke with Jay Burress, President and CEO of the Arlington Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
