| I20 in Texas is a major east–west
Interstate Highway (IH) in the Southern United States,
running east from a junction with i10 east of Kent,
Texas, through the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to the
border with Louisiana near Waskom, Texas. The original
distance of i20 was 647 miles from i10 to the Louisiana
border, reduced to the current distance of 636 miles
with the rerouting of i20 in the 1980s and 1990s. I20 is
known as the Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway within the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. |

| I20 in Texas was designated in 1959,
and was to replace or run parallel to U.S. Route 80.
Initial construction began from east to west and as
bypass loops around larger cities. By 1967, the highway
was complete from the Louisiana border to the western
side of Fort Worth on a route to the south of US 80,
with slower construction in the lesser populated areas
of West Texas concurrent with US 80. In 1971, i20 was
rerouted across the southern side of the Dallas/Fort
Worth Metroplex, with the old section through downtown
Dallas and Fort Worth being redesignated as i30. In
1991, the entire concurrent designation of US 80 was
removed from the i10 interchange to Dallas. |
