Virtual Public Meeting for I-345 Feasibility Study
From I-30 to Woodall Rodgers Freeway (Spur 366)
Dallas County, Texas
CSJ 0092-14-094
Tuesday, May 24, 2022
The virtual meeting begins on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at 5:30 PM and will remain available online through the comment period deadline of June 27, 2022. During this time, please view the project materials and other information provided on this site to learn about the study and provide your comments.
STUDY DESCRIPTION
As Dallas County population continues to grow and I-345 reaches its estimated remaining useful service life, it is necessary to plan for the future of the roadway. This study will help to determine the future of I-345.

To view materials by station, click on the Station Number and Name
At this station, you can:
- Review the key takeaways for the public meetings
- Review the Study Location Map to see the limits of the study and where I-345 is located
- Watch the I-345 flyover video for aerial perspectives of the existing highway
At this station, you can:
- View the Study Goals for both CityMAP and the I-345 Feasibility Study and why we are studying I-345
- Review the Study Approach to get information on the study process
- Review the I-345 Project Timeline to understand the overall timeline and next steps
At this station, you can:
- View the environmental constraints map which helps planners and engineers determine the least impactful method to fulfill the purpose of the project.
At this station, you can:
- Review a summary of feedback received during the first series of public meetings in 2019
- Review a summary of feedback received during the second series of public meetings in 2021
- Review the common themes we heard and received during the second series of public meetings
- Review the conceptual alternatives that were presented at the second series of public meetings
- View a conceptual rendering of the conceptual alternatives with key takeaways
At this station, you can:
- Learn what origin-destination (O-D) data is and where, when and why we collect this data
- View O-D maps on three specific routes that utilize I-345
- Learn how each alternative is projected to impact traffic in 2045
Learn how the origin destination data was used to develop the representative travel time exhibits
Review various travel time exhibits. The travel time percent change shown on the following exhibits was developed using the 2045 calibrated subarea regional model. It is an average percent change of 2045 projected travel times when compared to the No Build/Leave I-345 As-Is Alternative.
STATION 6: ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION
At this station, you can:
- Review how each alternative has been evaluated
- Learn how alternatives were eliminated or refined
- Understand how we determined the recommended alternative
STATION 7: RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE
At this station, you can:
- Review the changes made to the recommended alternative based on input provided during previous public involvement
- Review design refinements made to the Hybrid alternative presented at the 2021 public meetings
- Understand the alternative screening process
- Review potential areas for capping over the recommended alternative
- View capping examples in use today throughout the country
- View 3-D renderings of the recommended alternative
- View the recommended alternative roll plot
At this station, you can:
- View the coordination timeline with project partners such as NCTCOG, City of Dallas and DART
At this station, you can:
- Review the next steps after this feasibility study is completed. Once the report has been published, the project will move into the Schematic/Environmental Analysis of the Recommended Alternative.
