What we reported To help accommodate increased traffic volume on the Dallas North Tollway, the North Texas Tollway Authority began a multiphase project last summer that, when complete, will widen the tollway from I-635 in Dallas northward to SH 121. The first phase of the project extends from the President George Bush Turnpike to SH 121 and includes the addition of a fourth lane on the southbound and northbound sides of the road.

The latest Construction will continue on the direct connectors at the PGBT to add a lane to the ramps on the north side of the exchange.

What’s next In early 2017, the second half of the Tennyson bridge will be demolished and rebuilt. Construction along the tollway will continue until early 2018 when the widening project is expected to be complete.
