Interstate 20 in Texas
Encyclopedia
Interstate 20 in Texas
(abbreviated I-20 or IH-20) is a major east–west Interstate Highway in the Southern United States
, running east from a junction with Interstate 10
east of Kent, Texas
, through the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to the border with Louisiana
near Waskom, Texas
. The original distance of Interstate 20 was 647 miles (1,041.2 km) from I-10 to the Louisiana border, reduced to the current distance of 636 miles (1,023.5 km) with the rerouting of I-20 in the 1980s and 1990s.
. Initial construction began from east to west and as bypass loops around larger cities. By 1967, the highway was complete from the Louisiana border to the western side of Fort Worth on a route to the south of US 80, with slower construction in the lesser populated areas of West Texas concurrent with US 80. In 1971, I-20 was rerouted across the southern side of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, with the old section through downtown Dallas and Fort Worth being redesignated as Interstate 30. In 1991, the entire concurrent designation of US 80 was removed from the I-10 interchange to Dallas.
in a desolate region of West Texas about 6 miles (10 km) east of the town of Kent
. I-20 leaves the interchange with I-10 with a speed limit of 80 until Milemarker 89. The speed limit may go up to 85 miles per hour this very same stretch. Interstate 20 also generally heads to the east-northeast passing by the cities of Odessa
and Midland
while transitioning from the West Texas desert to the prairie. I-20 runs concurrently with the La Entrada al Pacífico
corridor from its junction with US 385 in Odessa to its junction with FM 1788
near Midland International Airport
. Near Sweetwater
, I-20 begins to head due east as it heads towards the city of Abilene
. In Abilene, I-20 curves towards the north and transverses the northern part of the city while also forming the northern arc of the loop around the city. I-20 continues heading east from Abilene until the town of Eastland
when I-20 takes a more northeasterly route towards Weatherford
while transitioning from the West Texas prairie to the central plains of North Texas the terrain grows hilly. In Weatherford, I-20 again heads back towards the east as it heads towards the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
I-20 interchanges with I-30 west of Fort Worth with I-30 heading east and I-20 to the southeast. I-20 heads back towards the east when it interchanges with Interstate 820. I-20 forms the southern arc of the complete loop around the city of Fort Worth
, and serves as the southernmost west–east freeway in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Interchanging with I-35W
south of downtown, I-20 heads east towards Dallas passing through Arlington
, where it is also known as the Ronald Reagan
Memorial Highway. From Arlington, I-20 passes into Dallas County at Grand Prairie
and heads east in to Dallas, interchanging with I-35E
south of downtown and I-45 shortly after. I-20 intersects with I-635
(where it completes a three-quarter loop around the city) on Dallas' southeast side before heading east towards East Texas. The interstate varies from 4 to 10 lanes from its I-30 junction near Weatherford to its US-80 junction near Terrell.
going through Kilgore in the pine belt region of East Texas. I-20 leaves the state of Texas near Waskom
and just west of Shreveport, Louisiana
.
. Interstate 20 has fifteen business loops in the state, all located in western Texas. Along I-20, TxDOT identifies each business route as Business Interstate 20 followed by an alphabetic suffix. Along Texas Interstates, the alphabetic suffixes on business route names ascend eastward and northward. There are gaps in the alphabetic values to allow for future system expansion. The alphabetic naming suffixes are included as small letters on the bottom of route shields.
I-20 business routes in Texas generally follow the path of the former US 80 through the central portions of towns now bypassed by the Interstate route.
