CTP interchange with I-20/SH 183
The Chisholm Trail Parkway/Interstate 20/State Highway 183 interchange consists of numerous bridges that will eventually become the CTP direct-connector ramps, main lanes and frontage road system.
To get from one of these three major roadways to the other, the interchange will consist of the following connectors:
• Eastbound I-20 to northbound CTP • Westbound I-20 to southbound CTP • Southbound CTP to westbound I-20 • Northbound CTP to eastbound I-20 • Arborlawn Drive to southbound CTP • Northbound CTP to Arborlawn Drive
The Texas Department of Transportation crews also have been working in this area since spring 2010. The focus of their work is on local access improvements, the construction of a sound mitigation wall near Country Day School and the lowering of the SH 183 main lanes. As the SH 183 main lanes are being lowered, the CTP is being constructed overhead.
