Note
Construction figures and number of lights are
per TxDOT 4/14/00
Option #1 is the best option for the city per this program.
Note also that this section of interstate will have SH-1 30 being built on it.
This is even more of a reason to go with the 100% maintenance and electricity
feature, as we will not incur any stranded construction costs when the new lighting
for the 1-35/SH-1 30 ramps are built.
