Subject: CONDITION OF I-30 (EAST FREEWAY)
On Tuesday, January 21, 1992, Mr. Jeffrey A. Holt, 2525 Chicago Avenue, Fort
Worth, Texas 76103 addressed City Council and presented a written report
describing the poor condition of the East Freeway, especially the section from
I-35W to Beach Street. Mr. Holt was echoing complaints about this section of
freeway received from citizens by City staff over recent months. The very heavy
Fall and Winter rains have had a devastating effect on the asphalt surface of I-
30 with the surface being pitted with pot holes.
Staff has been in contact with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) ,
District 2 office, and has received a copy of their Preventive Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Projects, City of Fort Worth, dated January 28, 1992. The sixteen
projects listed are all scheduled for letting in April , May and June, 1992. All
listed projects other than the two projects on I-30 are scheduled to be done in
Summer, 1992. The two I-30 projects are shown to be done in Summer, 1993.
In subsequent discussions with TOOT officials, they indicated that their
original plan was to combine the two I-30 projects under one construction project
and include in the contract the redecking of the Sycamore Creek Bridge and the
installation of median barriers on certain sections of the East Freeway. They had
intended on redecking the bridge and installing the median barriers first, then
in the Sumner, 1993 complete all the asphalt overlay portion of the contract.
However, due to the extensive deterioration that has occurred as a result of the
recent rains, they plan to revise their construction sequence in order to
complete the asphalt overlay work on I-30 during this coming paving season, or
by November, 1992.
The Texas Department of Transportation has indicated to staff that the section
of I-30 from Lamar Street to Oakland Boulevard is basically sound. The asphalt
overlay installed more than fifteen years ago however must be replaced. With
appropriate base repair, the proposed asphalt overlay will provide an excellent
riding surface which should last for years to come.
If City Council needs additional information in this matter, staff can provide
it as required.
