Drivers Want to Know:
How much would it cost to build the LBJ Express project without private funding?
To put it in perspective, the total budget for FY 2010-2011 for new construction and maintenance for all roadways in the TxDOT Dallas Division (covering a five-county area in North Texas) was $171 million. By comparison, the total cost of the LBJ Express project, including maintenance and operations, is $2.7 billion with construction alone estimated at $2.1 billion. Without private developers, the five-year LBJ Express project would exceed the total amount budgeted for all of TxDOT's North Texas transportation needs and likely would be delayed for years or never built at all.
