TxDOT PROJECT TRACKER “Work with others to provide safe and reliable transportation solutions for Texas.”

OVERVIEW The (NTE) rebuild some of northeast Tarrant County’s most congested highways. Construction started in late 2010 and completed in October 2014 -- nine months ahead of schedule. The project was designed and built concurrently by NTE Mobility Partners (NTEMP) and Bluebonnet Contractors (BBC), shaving several years from the project schedule. Completed, the project provides eight to 10 lanes on Interstate 820 (I-820) and State Highways (SH) 121 and 183. The project improves mobility by almost doubling the existing road capacity with a combination of general highway lanes and continuous frontage roads, along with managed toll (TEXpress) lanes that use dynamic pricing to keep traffi c moving at 50 mph. As the fi rst comprehensive development agreement (CDA) project signed in , the NTE has leveraged a $573 million TxDOT investment into a $2.5 billion infrastructure redevelopment project that reaches from north Fort Worth to near DFW Airport.
