Proposed Project Concept
•
 Add direct connecting ramps between US 175 CF Hawn Freeway & IH45
•
Improve IH 45 capacity to facilitate new direct connecting CF Hawn ramps
•
Provide access between CF Hawn & SM Wright through a grade separated interchange
•
Convert SM Wright to a low speed, signalized, pedestrian-friendly, landscaped arterial
•
Spacing provided to allow proposed Trinity Parkway connection and extension
