Chisholm Trail Parkway construction moving full speed ahead

Work continues to progress on the Chisholm Trail Parkway. Motorists driving near the corridor in Tarrant County will notice drillers, heavy equipment and bridge support structures dotting the landscape. Along Interstate 30, crews continue excavation work between Forest Park Boulevard and Fort Worth and Western Railroad. Crews also are building up embankment and drilling and pouring supports for CTP bridge structures between Old University Drive and University Drive. Further south, the new Hulen Street bridge and the CTP main lanes take shape as crews continue to place bridge decks and supports over the Union Pacific Railroad Yard.

In the southern Fort Worth area of the project work continues on embankments, drainage structures and columns.
