“It should be noted this is a very long-term project,” said the City, “Funding for the construction of the Jackson Street/Interstate 10 Interchange has not yet been secured, and actual construction is at best, several years in the future. Performing design and environmental review is a required step in this process.”
The public review period runs from February 24-March 26, 2021.
The proposed changes include redesigning and widening the Jackson Street interchange on the I-10 freeway to improve traffic flow by reconstructing the freeway on and off ramps, replacing the 264 foot long Jackson Street overcrossing with a wider structure with turn lanes and additional lanes for the CV Link.
The bridge over the CV Stormwater Channel will also be reconstructed to account for more traffic and the CV Link path.
The current estimated project cost is approximately $80 million, with the design phase completed by fall 2023.
