Interstate 20 in Texas （I-20） is a major east–west Interstate Highway in the Southern United States, running east from a junction with I-10 east of Kent, Texas, through the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex to the border with Louisiana near Waskom, Texas.
The original distance of I-20 was 647 miles （1,041 km） from I-10 to the Louisiana border, reduced to the current distance of 636 miles （1,024 km） with the rerouting of I-20 in the 1980s and 1990s.
I-20 is known as the Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway within the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
I-20 in Texas was designated in 1959, and was to replace or run parallel to U.S. Route 80 （US 80）.
Initial construction began from east to west and as bypass loops around larger cities.
On October 1, 1964, I-20 was rerouted so that it followed I-35W through Fort Worth （it still followed I-35E through Dallas）.
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.
On December 2, 1971, I-20 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 I-30.
In 1991, the entire concurrent designation of US 80 was removed from the I-10 interchange to Dallas.
I-20 begins its eastward journey at a junction with I-10 in a desolate region of West Texas about 6 miles （10 km） east of the town of Kent.
I-20 leaves the interchange with I-1...
