ith $168 million in funding from state legislators in hand, along with an additional $2 billion in funding that the Texas Department of Transportation identified in its budget earlier this year, the 38-mile US 290 corridor, one of the most congested roads in Texas, will see expansion work up to 20 years sooner than expected.
According to the agency, the completion of these projects along 290 will result in a 40% decrease in commute time for 290 drivers.
