“Construction work in this area is needed to facilitate the reconfiguration of the DNT/PGBT interchange and add an additional lane on the direct-connector ramps, as well as the DNT main lanes between [PGBT] and [SH 121],” according to a news release from the North Texas Tollway Authority. To enter the PGBT, motorists will continue south on the DNT, exit at Frankford Road, Dallas, make a U-Turn at Frankford Road and enter the northbound DNT. Drivers can then enter PGBT from the northbound DNT to PGBT direct-connector ramp.
