IH-35/U.S. 82 Interchange in Gainesville Gets Funding
After a cooperative effort by the Texas Dept. of Transportation and the city of Gainesville, the Texas Transportation Commission granted $11.3 million of the $14.3 million to build a new interchange in Gainesville. The extra $3 million will come from TxDOT’s Wichita Falls District.
The funds come from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. TxDOT has experienced under bids on dozens of jobs around the state, leaving enough funds on the table to proceed with the IH 35/U.S. Hwy. 82 interchange.
