Construction on Hwy. 121, FM 2499 will ease congestion
New highway projects worth $180 million would relieve bottlenecks by adding bridges to Grapevine Mills mall entrances from FM 2499 and lanes to Hwy. 121 north to Sam Rayburn Tollway, Grapevine and state officials said.
The bridges will enter the mall at Grapevine Mills Boulevard and Stars and Stripes Way, said Jerry Hodge, transportation director for the City of Grapevine.
The main lanes of FM 2499 will be depressed so that the bridges can go over them and motorists can continue toward Denton Creek without having to stop for signals, improving traffic flow.
The city would like to see the $80 million project added to the DFW Connector so that it could start immediately, he said. The addition would have to be approved by the Texas Department of Transportation and NorthGate Constructors.
