TxDOT outlines Loop 322/State Highway 36 intersection redesign; board plans October public layout

TxDOT staff presented proposed operational improvements for the Loop 322/State Highway 36 corridor and described design options intended to reduce conflict points at a busy Expo Center intersection. Staff said the current two'way frontage road configuration creates a major conflict where an entrance ramp crosses northbound traffic; the proposed reconfiguration would keep two'way function from Expo Drive down to East South 27th while converting the segment from SH 36 to Expo to one'way, and would realign ramps to avoid routing neighborhood traffic through residential streets.
