X S.M am Fo S. M. Wright Phase I (Formerly Trinity Parkway Phase I) Construct new direct-connecting ramps from C. F. Hawn Freeway to I-45, and widen I-45 to the inside from Lamar St. to the S. M. Wright Freeway ramps. The direct-connecting ramps provide allowance for a potential future connection from Trinity Parkway under study by the NTTA. In 2015, TxDOT decided to relet the project due to right of way and utility issues. While maintaining its focus on the traditional disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) program, TxDOT used that time to work with the community to develop 1) a pilot federal program that promotes the use of locally based employees, and 2) establish goals for small, minority- and women-owned age roads to MLK Blvd. Reconstruct S. M. Wright from Pennsylvania Ave. to Cesar Chavez Blvd. at Grand Ave. Phase I and II Project Cost: $151.6 M RECOMMENDATIONS: OVERALL SCHEDULE ol 45 SL ile 2m m s fro businesses as a pilot S/M/WBE and Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Aspirational Participation Program to determine the availability of those types of contractors on major projects. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is undertaking design plans and environmental studies for improvements to US 175 / SM Wright Freeway. The study area is shown at left and includes improvements to I-45 from SM Wright Freeway (US 175) to south of Lamar Street (1.7 miles); S. M. Wright Freeway from I-45 to SH 310 near Budd Street (2.5 miles); and providing direct connecting (DC) ramps between C. F. Hawn Freeway (US 175) and I-45 (1.5 miles). The S. M. Wright Project would increase mobility and improve safety by eliminating the accident prone C. F. Hawn Freeway to S. M. Wright Freeway curve.
