  • 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
    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.
