PROJECT OVERVIEW

Project Timeline

 

We have surpassed the halfway mark in construction of the North Tarrant Express' 13.5-mile corridor, which is anticipated to be completed in June 2015. This marks an important milestone for the project and signals the beginning of future traffic relief for the North Fort Worth and Northeast Tarrant County areas.

As a result, road work will likely affect traffic conditions during your daily commute, so we encourage you to check back regularly for updates on the construction schedule as well as current and upcoming lane closures.

The project timeline information below will be updated on a monthly basis, typically following the monthly project team construction meeting, which takes place on the first or second Friday of each month.
