Southeast Connector
Project Funded
In August, the Texas Transportation
Commission fully funded the
Southeast Connector project as
part of TxDOT’s 10-year Unified
Transportation Program. The $1.7
billion project is estimated to begin
construction as early as 2021. In
total, $4.1 billion in projects were
approved in the Fort Worth District.
The Southwest Connector Project
will add frontage road segments
and reconfigure access ramps to
optimize I-20, I-820, and US 287
access and operations and reduce
vehicular weaving.

Hyperloop Technology Stops at AT&T Stadium
Could it be the
future of public
transportation?
Virgin Hyperloop
One is convinced its
hyperloop technology
will soon connect
Texas in a matter
of minutes. Now,
representatives for the
company are hitting
the road, working to
sell Americans on their
dream.
Virgin successfully
tested the hyperloop in
May 2017 on a desert course in Nevada. However, developers say there is
still more work to be done to win public support for the technology.
“When government and investor delegations come to our test site, seeing
the technology makes it real for them. Not everyone can come to the
Nevada desert, so we’re bringing our technology to the people – the
American people who will be riding this new form of transportation within
a decade,” said Jay Walder, CEO of Virgin Hyperloop One.
