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.

Second lane opens on Hulen Street bridge
A second southbound lane is expected to open on the Hulen Street bridge in Fort Worth this week giving motorists two lanes in each direction. The entire bridge is expected to open by late summer providing motorists with three lanes in each direction and a 10-foot pedestrian walkway.
Work has steadily progressed on the bridge where crews are adding the finishing touches, including the completion of median work and the installation of brick pavers and fencing.
Nearby, the southbound Hulen Street/westbound Vickery Boulevard ramp recently opened to traffic. And, in April, crews are scheduled to re-open the inside lane of eastbound Vickery Boulevard between Micki Lynn Avenue and Hulen Street. |
