Texas DOT Moves Forward With $146B Plan, And Port Freeport Expands

A bold and broad plan to invest in infrastructure across the Lone Star State has been put in motion with Governor Greg Abbott announcing late last month that nearly $150 billion is slated to deliver a new 10-year transportation plan. The plan by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will invest in local roads and major congestion relief projects in cities and towns throughout the state.

Said Gov. Abbott, “This more than $146 billion investment in our roadways will help Texas meet the critical needs of our growing state as more people and businesses move here for the freedom and opportunity they can’t find anywhere else. We must strengthen our roadways and improve congestion and safety to keep our economy booming and keep Texans moving. By investing billions of dollars in our transportation network today, we will build the future of Texas for generations to come.”

“Built with our transportation partners and public feedback from across the state, the UTP will enhance safety, improve mobility, and support our growth over the next 10 years,” TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said. “Whether you live in a rural area or a big city, this plan benefits everyone as we continue to work to move people and goods safely and efficiently, fulfilling our mission of connecting you with Texas.”
