Planners Considering Dedicated Lanes from TX 360 to President Bush Turnpike (Tolling an Open Question)

Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports, “Regional transportation planners have a new idea that could solve the traffic jams on Interstate 20 between Texas 360 and the President George Bush Turnpike. They are studying the possibility of building dedicated lanes to take drivers from Texas 360 to the turnpike, allowing them to skip over I-20 altogether. Drivers on the turnpike could also connect seamlessly to Texas 360.” The report adds, “Michael Morris, director of transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, said these collector distributor roads are just one option being considered. It’s too early to say if they would be toll lanes or if they would be elevated above I-20, Morris said.”
