Dallas City Council members unanimously approved a plan that will allow TxDOT to begin the engineering phase for rebuilding Interstate 345 in a trench.
that connects U.S. Highway 75 and Interstate 45.
The plan would put the now elevated interstate in a trench, creating room for deck parks and current streets to run on top of it. "It's not perfect, but at the end of the day, if we support this, TxDOT and the city have decided to take down a highway and put something better in its place," West said."TxDOT has said, unequivocally, that they will not sell us the land or allow this option to move forward. As frustrating as this is, we must now make lemonade," Schultz said.
Michael Morris, who is transportation director for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, said I-345 is critical to the rapid growth in the region.
