Dallas Fort Worth International Marks Completion of New Roadway
Dallas Fort Worth International Marks Completion of New Roadway
The Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) on Friday marked the completion of the East-West Connector Project, recognizing the opening of a new roadway that has been nearly two decades in the making.
Construction on the approximately 1.65 mile corridor, an extension of Rental Car Drive, began in the first quarter of 2024. The roadway stretches from the South Service Road of International Parkway to the State Highway 360 northbound frontage road at Hardwood Drive, connecting State Highway 161 to State Highway 360. Designed to strengthen east west mobility, the project reduces congestion and improves access to existing and future commercial developments in the area.
First envisioned nearly 20 years ago, the connector fulfills a long-term transportation vision for the airport's southern corridor, according to the Texas airport.
The $30.8 million project was funded in part through federal transportation programs and administered by the North Central Texas Council of Governments, which provided approximately 80 percent of the project funding. The project was delivered under a Local Project Advance Funding Agreement between DFW and the Texas Department of Transportation Fort Worth District.
