A three year highway job is a long stay. Most crews want a quiet place to sleep, a clean shower and a fair monthly rate, not a motel bill that runs every night. Here is what is public about the I-20 Abilene project and how to plan housing for it.
The I-20 Abilene project is a TxDOT Abilene District rebuild of the interstate main lanes and frontage roads between FM 600 and State Highway 351, with new storm drains, retaining walls, bridges and traffic signals.

A job of this size usually needs earthwork and drainage crews first, then concrete paving, bridge and retaining wall crews, then signals, striping and traffic control, with utility crews moving lines along the way. That order is general industry practice, not a TxDOT schedule. Many of these trades travel from job to job with a camper, and a three year schedule means phases that come and go. Month to month terms fit that.
Inez Spring is one minute off I-20 at Exit 343. The FM 600 to SH 351 stretch is on the north side of Abilene, about 50 miles west on the same interstate, so plan on about 50 minutes (est.) each way, more while lanes shift in the work zone. At 5 a.m. most of the drive is open road. Drive it once at your real start time before you commit. We keep drive times to the Abilene sites in the Eastland to Abilene commute table.
A back-in site is $500 a month. A pull-through up to 100 feet is $650 a month. Electric is metered at your own pedestal at 17 cents per kWh and billed on top, so the honest total is site rent plus your own meter. We do not estimate the electric, because your rig and the season decide it. The deposit is $200 per site and refundable. Terms are month to month, so a crew can stay for one phase or the whole job.
If your company pays per diem, compare the monthly total with your lodging allowance. More on that in per diem RV living in Texas.
Other work in the area: the data center campuses in Abilene (Stargate), the Microsoft campus, Dyess B-21 projects and the Oncor 765 kV line.
Send your start date, how long and how many rigs. The office replies the same day with what is open and a per-month total, electric billed on the meter.
TxDOT scheduled the rebuild of I-20 between FM 600 and State Highway 351 to start November 3, 2026, per project documents reported in January 2026. Dates in early filings can move, so check TxDOT Abilene District for the current schedule.
The scheduled finish is October 16, 2029, about three years. The work covers main lanes, frontage roads, storm drains, retaining walls, bridges and traffic signals.
We did not find a prime contractor named in public sources as of November 2, 2026. If you are on the crew, your employer will have the name and the start date for your scope.
