Chisholm Trail Parkway is a 27.6-mile toll road that will extend from Tarrant County to Johnson County, starting from Fort Worth's central business district at Interstate 30 and continuing to U.S. 67 in Cleburne. The NTTA began initial construction in April 2010 on Section 2C, one of the northernmost sections of the project, located in Fort Worth near Union Pacific Railroad's Davidson Yard. In March 2010, the Texas Department of Transportation began construction of Section 3A, a $117 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project. Section 3A consists of local access improvements to Interstate 20/State Highway 183 (Southwest Boulevard) at CTP. Construction of the remaining project sections is underway. The entire CTP project is anticipated to open to traffic in mid-2014.

Chisholm Trail Parkway project incorporates residents' feedback
With any transportation project, sound mitigation and environmental concerns are always a top priority for people living or working near the roadway. The NTTA, City of Fort Worth and the Texas Department of Transportation worked closely with citizens during the design process to ensure that sound mitigation and aesthetic needs were incorporated into the Chisholm Trail Parkway corridor. In addition, two environmental studies were completed to ensure compliance with environmental guidelines. As a result, the project meets all air and water quality requirements set by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
With construction of the corridor under way, crews are already working to implement some of the project's environmentally friendly and noise mitigation efforts, including:
* In the section from south of Overton Ridge Boulevard to south of Altamesa Boulevard, crews are constructing the NEPA-required sound walls prior to construction of the main lanes to lessen potential construction noise;
* Speed limits in the northern section of the project are reduced to 50 mph;
* More than 4,700 trees are being planted throughout the corridor;
* The project includes low-water requirements and native/adaptive landscaping.

Chisholm Trail Parkway lane closures at Oakmont Boulevard and Dutch Branch Road starting this week 
As construction continues in Section 4 of the Chisholm Trail Parkway, lane closures are necessary so crews can perform various construction activities. Section 4 is 2.3 miles long and extends from south of Overton Ridge Boulevard to south of Altamesa Boulevard.
* Oakmont Boulevard from Verandas Circle to Arbor Lane
Crews will close one east- and one westbound lane on Oakmont Boulevard between Verandas Circle and Arbor Lane as needed Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The closure is expected to last through late March as is necessary so crews can lay the groundwork for a future detour.
* Dutch Branch Road between Harris Parkway and Oakmont Trail
Crews will close the westbound lanes of Dutch Branch Road between Harris Parkway and Oakmont Trail through Jan. 21. All traffic will be redirected to the eastbound side of Dutch Branch Road with one lane in each direction. Crews will be constructing the proposed culverts that cross Dutch Branch Road. A similar closure is expected to occur on the eastbound lanes of Dutch Branch Road from Jan. 21 through Feb. 4 to finish the eastbound culvert.
