Just in time for summer, the reconfiguring of Interstate 20 on Ranger Hill has reached a major milestone with the opening of new westbound lanes.

05/07/2021

On Monday, May 3, 2021 westbound traffic was switched to the new uphill lanes. This time lapse video of the day of the switch show the massive amount of traffic that passes through this construction and a small snapshot of the construction progress on a daily basis. https://youtu.be/9cvQYG2pg7I
Time-lapse total shooting time was approximately 6 hours compressed down to just under 6 minutes.

Ranger Hill Reconstuction

LOCATION

Ranger Hill is located on Interstate 20 in eastern Eastland County, between the city of Ranger and State Highway 16. The hill is approximately halfway between Abilene and Fort Worth.

PROJECT NEED

Design improvements are necessary in the Ranger Hill area to enhance and improve safety and mobility, specifically addressing the following issues:

Roadway safety and operational concerns due to functional roadway deficiencies that contribute to high frequency and severity of traffic incidents and congestion

Constrained mobility of vehicles due to crashes and increasing traffic demand

Incident management concerns and access limitations for first responders

A substantial reconstruction of I-20 was approved through an environmental study completed in fall 2016, receiving strong support from local citizens, state and local elected officials, area law enforcement and first responders, and frequent travelers of I-20 along Ranger Hill.

PROJECT FEATURES

Reconstruction will greatly enhance the safe and efficient movement of the traveling public on the hill:

More gradual 3.5% grade and approximately 1° curve will allow for the safe and efficient movement of traffic at a design speed of 75 mph.

Three westbound (uphill) mainlanes will allow large trucks to use the outside lane for climbing without impeding smaller vehicles traveling at higher speeds. Two eastbound (downhill) mainlanes will allow for future expansion to three lanes.

Wide inside and outside shoulders will allow refuge for stranded or stalled vehicles.

Continuous two-way frontage roads will improve access and incident response capabilities throughout the length of the project.

PROJECT TIMELINE

Summer 2017: Begin Reconstruction

Summer 2017 – Spring 2018: Excavate, Rebuild, and Add New Lanes on South (Eastbound) Side of Ranger Hill

Spring 2018: Temporarily Shift Eastbound Traffic to New Lanes

Spring – Fall 2018: Reconstruct Area Between Existing Westbound Lanes and New Lanes on South Side of Ranger Hill

Fall 2018: Temporarily Shift Westbound Traffic to Newly Reconstructed Lanes

Fall 2018 – Spring 2020: Add New Westbound Lanes and Frontage Roads, and Reconstruct Safety Rest Area Access Ramps on North (Westbound) Side of Ranger Hill

Summer 2020: Open All Frontage Roads, Main lanes and Access Ramps, and Permanently Shift Traffic to Ultimate Designated Lanes
