I-20 East Texas Corridor - Van Zandt 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 Van Zandt County segment comprises 30-miles of the I-20 ETX corridor – extending from the Kaufman Co. line (near CR 2629), east to the Smith Co. line (near CR 4930).
Van Zandt Co. population increased 13.2% between 2010 and 2020, from 52,579 to 59,541 respectively.
