The President George Bush Turnpike Western Extension, also known as State Highway 161, will provide a new, approximately 11.5-mile link in the growing loop around Dallas. The corridor consists of the tolled PGBT WE main lanes and the SH 161 frontage roads. Phase 1, which includes the frontage roads from Carrier Parkway to Interstate 20, is complete and open to traffic. Phases 2 and 3 consist of the tolled main lanes between SH 183 and I-30 and are also open to traffic. The final phase of the project, Phase 4, extends from I-30 to I-20 in Grand Prairie and is expected to open to traffic in the fourth quarter of 2012. ________________________________________________________________ |

Did You Know?
 When complete, approximately 9 million tons of dirt will have been moved to make way for the new PGBT Western Extension in Grand Prairie. That's about the same amount that was removed to build the Hoover Dam!

NTTA plans "Top Violators" page on NTTA.org
Outreach effort aimed at reaching customers who owe tolls
The NTTA will publish a webpage in mid-July containing the names of individuals who owe 100 or more outstanding tolls. The list is designed to provide the public with a way to easily determine if they owe a significant debt to the NTTA and put them on notice that they may be subject to collections lawsuits and other enforcement action by the NTTA.
The "Top Violators" webpage is part of a coordinated effort by the NTTA to ensure that all users of NTTA roadways pay for that usage. The NTTA is funded by user fees-tolls-and not taxes. Those on the "Top Violators" list have more than 100 outstanding tolls and have refused to pay invoices over at least 180 days.
Learn more and read the frequently asked questions at www.ntta.org/custinfo/BIlling-and-Payment/Pages/Top_Toll_Violators.aspx. |
