The North Texas Tollway Authority board of directors during its March 16 meeting approved a project to construct new toll gantries on the Dallas North Tollway at Panther Creek Parkway.

A gantry is an overhead structure on an on- or off-ramp or over a toll road that reads a TollTag or takes a picture of a vehicle's license plate.

The on- and off-ramps for the gantries are already in place in anticipation of traffic demand, and the gantries will be constructed during the next nine months, NTTA spokesperson Michael Rey said.

For TollTag customers, the toll rate is expected to be $0.34. For ZipCash customers—or those who do not have a TollTag—the toll rate will be $0.58.
