I-20 East Texas Corridor - Gregg County

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is developing preliminary plans to widen and reconstruct the I-20 corridor throughout East Texas (ETX) in the Tyler District. The I-20 ETX corridor expansion would widen and reconstruct mainlanes, develop continuous one-way frontage roads, reconstruct entrance and exit ramps, replace mainlane and frontage road bridges.

The Gregg County segment comprises 17-miles of the I-20 ETX corridor – extending from the Smith Co. line (near Mt. Pisgah Road), east to the Harrison Co. line (near US 259 in Longview).

Gregg Co. population increased 2.1% between 2010 and 2020, from 121,730 to 124,239 respectively.

Gregg Co. I-20 ETX segment includes:

• 36,588 Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT)
• 32% trucks
• 618,444 vehicle miles traveled
• 68 mainlane miles (center-lane mileage multiplied by the number of lanes)
• 24 frontage road miles
• 7 interchanges
• 33 bridges
