This is a major project that needs to happen.

Multi-year major road projects are pretty normal in most parts of the country.

The huge question I have... Are DOTD and our local construction companies competent enough to do this?

Also... they need to really try to do as much of this at night as they can, as well as look at the total shutdown on weekend options (i.e. close the whole thing from 9 pm Friday to 5 am Monday) to do as much work as they can.

Maybe they can talk to TXDOT to get some help.

DOTD... probably not, This is a 350 million dollar project, you will have the big boys coming into town to bid this project, not just locals

Isn't TXDOT in charge of the never ending construction on I-10 just past the LA border?
