Local and state officials broke ground Thursday afternoon on the $518 million Irving Diamond Interchange State Highway 114 and Loop 12 improvement project.
Just north of Texas Stadium, the multimodal project will streamline the area’s four highways – state highways 114 and 183, Loop 12 and Spur 482 – with the DART Orange Line, which is scheduled to reach Las Colinas in 2012.
“This project will allow us to get to Las Colinas on time,” DART board chair Randall Chrisman said. “We’ve already purchased the rails and 23 rail cars (for the Orange Line) and have the design builds out for bids.”
