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.

Ongoing construction
Work continues on the Chisholm Trail Parkway main lane bridges crossing the Trinity River just north of Arborlawn Drive in Fort Worth. Crews began placing concrete for the remaining bridge columns last week. Once the columns are complete, work will begin on the bent caps and capitals (the decorative tops of the columns).
In south Fort Worth, intermittent lane closures along Dutch Branch Road between Harris Parkway and Oakmont Trail have been extended through May. Work in that area is focused on the sound mitigation walls near the Hulen Bend Estates and Park Palisades neighborhoods and embankment work leading to the Dutch Branch Road bridge. |
