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 spring 2014.

Construction update
Demolition of the westbound Rosedale-Lovell bridge in Fort Worth has wrapped up, and work has shifted to bridge reconstruction. The bridge is being reconstructed so the columns can be realigned to accommodate the CTP main lanes below.
In addition, crews reopened the intersection of Rutledge and Landers streets after a brief closure for storm-line installation.
In south Fort Worth, crews finished erecting columns for the northbound Risinger Road bridge and bent caps (the tops that go on top of the columns) for the Sycamore School Road bridge. |

NTTA: Building a legacy of mobility
 The NTTA didn't build the first toll road in North Texas, but it has built upon the legacy of responding to transportation needs while also putting North Texas drivers first.
The NTTA was established in 1997, long after the importance of toll roads to the region was recognized.
The Texas Turnpike Authority was created in 1953 to manage construction of a major thoroughfare between Dallas and Fort Worth. The TTA also was tasked with collecting tolls from drivers to repay bonds sold to finance the road's construction.
The men and women who helped form the NTTA out of the Texas Turnpike Authority shared a vision of enhancing mobility for drivers in this region by ensuring that tolls collected on roads in North Texas were reinvested in the region. When the NTTA took over the TTA's assets in North Texas, that vision became the roadmap for the NTTA, and it has stayed true to its mission.
Aside from adding 700 lane miles of safe and reliable toll roads to the North Texas landscape (and working to open additional lane miles), the NTTA has infused $3.4 billion into the region for non-tolled projects. Road enhancements and expansions funded by the NTTA are underway across the Metroplex.

Cashless tolling benefits drivers
 TollTag customers enjoyed the freedom of sailing past toll booths long before the NTTA converted to cashless tolling. But even TollTag customers gained new benefits with the conversion to cashless tolling, and the benefits are measurable. Learn more here.
