TX: North Tarrant Express

Texas Department of Transportation’s $2.1 billion North Tarrant Express project rebuilt and expanded 13.3 miles of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex’s most congested highways, improving conditions for motorists and freight traffic. The project was completed nine months ahead of schedule and provides additional lanes for motorists while including additional toll lanes. The project team shaved as many as six years from the construction schedule with their design-build method, saving time on construction and reducing inconveniences to motorists. The public-private partnership between TxDOT and developers saved taxpayer money with construction, while also saving an estimated $12.4 million annually in maintenance costs covered by toll lanes.
