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.

Hulen Street bridge motif
At the Hulen Street bridge, workers are installing the new rails/fencing which was conceptualized in 2005 by Fort Worth residents participating in a Citizen Advisory Group. The group asked for an art deco motif inspired by the Zig Zag Moderne pattern on top of the T & P Building and the Lancaster bridge downtown. |
