Rebuild of I-345 on edge of downtown Dallas could take 10 years, TxDOT official estimates

“The Texas Department of Transportation on Oct. 16 updated Dallas City Council on the status of the project that aims to ‘trench’ the roughly 2.8 miles of the elevated highway, from I-30 to Woodall Rogers Freeway. That will entail lowering the road below grade and creating new street overpasses above — removing a major physical barrier between downtown and Deep Ellum, although some had hoped for an even more dramatic transformation.“
