Media Contact: Michael Rey 214-224-2237 [email protected] 5900 W. Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75093 NTTA INCREASES SPEED LIMITS ON SOUTH END OF THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY PLANO, Texas – June 19, 2019 – The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) is restoring the speed limit to 65 mph on the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) between Harvest Hill Road (south of Interstate 635) and I-35E now that the DNT maintenance project has concluded. The lowered speed limit helped ensure safety for both drivers and workers during construction work where the tollway’s center barrier was replaced, the road resurfaced, and all lanes restriped. Following the project’s conclusion, NTTA conducted a detailed safety study, including collecting speed data and evaluating the road’s geometry. After considering all those factors, the NTTA Board approved the following speed limits for the DNT between I-635 and the southern end of the tollway: Between the southern end of DNT and Oak Lawn Avenue: 50 mph Between just south of Oak Lawn and I-635: 65 mph The new speed limits will go into effect after signs are installed at appropriate locations throughout the affected road sections. About NTTA The North Texas Tollway Authority, a political subdivision of the state of Texas, is authorized to acquire, construct, maintain, repair and operate turnpike projects across the North Texas region. The nine-member board is comprised of Chairman John Mahalik; Vice Chairman Bill Moore; and Directors Tim Carter, Lynn Gravley, Mojy Haddad, Pete Kamp, Marcus Knight, George “Tex” Quesada and Jane Willard. NTTA is composed of member counties Dallas, Denton, Collin and Tarrant. It also serves Ellis and Johnson counties. NTTA owns and operates the Dallas North Tollway, President George Bush Turnpike, Sam Rayburn Tollway, Addison Airport Toll Tunnel, Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge, Mountain Creek Lake Bridge, Chisholm Trail Parkway, and 360 Tollway. It raises capital for construction projects through the issuance of turnpike revenue bonds. NTTA toll projects are not a part of the state highway system and receive no direct tax funding. Tolls are collected to repay debt and to operate and maintain the roadways. ### .

Media Contact: Customer Contact: Michael Rey 972-818-NTTA (6882) 214-224-2237 [email protected] [email protected] www.NTTA.org 5900 W. Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75093 IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SOUTH END OF THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY SET TO BEGIN 18-Month Project Will Occur from Just South of I-635 to I-35E PLANO, Texas – April 7, 2017 – The south end of the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) is getting a facelift. The North Texas Tollway Authority will replace the center median barrier and repave the tollway between Harvest Hill Road (south of Interstate 635) and I-35E. Restriping is expected to begin at 10 p.m. Sunday, April 9. Three lanes will remain open in each direction. The restriping will provide a work zone for crews near the median, which they will replace. Once restriping is complete, work to remove and replace the center median barrier will begin. Later, crews will replace asphalt on the driving surface as well as adding new pavement markings. This is proactive, planned maintenance to ensure a safe, reliable and quality road that drivers expect on the DNT. To minimize traffic impacts, the majority of this work will happen during off-peak hours — at night and on some weekends. Nightly lane closures will be performed under the guidance of local law enforcement. Please be aware that the work area will move locations periodically. This project will be complete in approximately 18 months, weather permitting. These improvements are a part of NTTA’s continuing effort to provide quality roads for our customers. For more information on the DNT Improvement Projects, visit ProgressNTTA.org, email [email protected] or call (972) 628-3134.
