The effort to expand SH 121 to 10 lanes from Grapevine to Lewisville is still underway with work being done on three bridges. The northbound- to-southbound U-turn opened in October at Denton Creek. It can only be accessed by Coppell Road. Permanent traffic signal poles are being installed, which will be functioning when the northbound traffic is switched at Freeport Parkway.

High mast lighting is being wired and should receive power by November or December.
