Drivers in East Parker County will notice a difference driving westbound on Interstate 20 at mile marker 411. The new Hudson Oaks exit ramp, between Lakeshore Drive and Centerpoint, opened Friday. The East Parker County Chamber of Commerce and the City of Hudson Oaks held a ribbon cutting on the ramp Friday morning to mark the occasion.

“The new ramp will provide improved access both for our existing businesses and for the future development around the movie theatre,” stated Hudson Oaks Mayor Pat Deen. The exit will provide westbound-Interstate-20 motorists with direct access to Jerry’s Nissan, Southwest Ford, Walmart, the entire Hudson Oaks Corners Retail Center, and the Connell development surrounding the City Lights movie theatre. They will then be able to get right back onto westbound I-20 easily, without having to go through any traffic lights.
