Show Me The Money

The Texas Transportation Commission spent $2 billion in the blink of an eye. Dallas\Fort Worth got zero despite being one of the largest metro areas in Texas.  So who got the money.

· The reconstruction of Houston's $178 million Interstate 610/U.S. 290 Interchange, which ranks 13th on the list of the 100 Most Congested Roadway Segments in Texas;

· $100 million to expand Interstate 45 in Houston, which ranks as the 25th most congested roadway segment in the state;

· A four-mile, $80 million expansion of Loop 375 in El Paso, doubling capacity of a route which serves as an alternative to Interstate 10 and supplementing access to the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss; and,

· San Antonio's Wurzbach Parkway, which will receive $130 million to complete the 4.8 mile reconstruction and expand the facility from a four-to a six-lane divided roadway. Improving Wurzbach will improve traffic flow on some of the most congested roadways in San Antonio including I-35, Loop 1604, I-410 and U.S. 281.
