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 October 2012.

Western Extension to open next month 

  

The NTTA anticipates opening Phase 4 of the President George Bush Turnpike Western Extension in mid-October. On opening day, two main lanes in each direction from Egyptian Way south to Interstate 20 will be complete, allowing TollTag and ZipCash users to easily access destinations along the corridor.

 

In addition, the four-level interchange connecting I-20 to the Western Extension main lanes and five of the eight direct-connector ramps and bridges at the I-30 interchange also will open to traffic.

 

The following three I-30 direct-connector ramps are scheduled to open in early 2013:

* Westbound I-30 to southbound Western Extension

* Westbound I-30 to northbound Western Extension

* Southbound Western Extension to eastbound I-30

 

The SH 161 frontage road, at-grade railroad crossings between Main Street and Jefferson Road are scheduled to open at the end of the year.

TollTag customer with a ZipCash bill?  
    

? manTake these easy steps to pay the bill and update your account. Don't ignore it. 

 

To ensure accurate billing and avoid receiving ZipCash invoices, TollTag customers should update their TollTag account anytime they have changes to their vehicle, license plate, or credit/debit card information.

 

A TollTag customer will receive an invoice for tolls at the higher ZipCash rate if:

(1) the customer fails to update the account with correct vehicle or credit card information,

(2) vehicle or credit card information is incomplete, or

(3) the customer does not maintain enough funds in the account to pay the applicable tolls. 

 

For billing information, visit NTTA> Customer Information> Billing & Payment or call NTTA Customer Service Center at (972) 818-NTTA (6882).
