NTTA BOARD APPROVES DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY EXTENSION CONTRACTS
Construction Scheduled to Begin in Spring 2024
PLANO, TEXAS – Dec. 20, 2023 – At its regularly scheduled meeting Dec. 20, the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) Board of Directors unanimously approved construction contracts for an extension of the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) from US 380 to FM 428, through Prosper and Celina.
Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2024. The approximately six-mile extension will be constructed with three main lanes in each direction. The project is planned to open to traffic by the end of 2027, weather permitting.
“We are excited to expand the DNT, a backbone of North Texas, to provide travel options to new communities,” said NTTA Assistant Executive Director of Infrastructure Elizabeth Mow. “History has shown, where NTTA roads go, economic development and prosperity soon follow.”
Earlier this year, NTTA completed construction on the latest DNT extension, the main lane bridges over US 380. DNT widening and improvement work is currently ongoing between the Sam Rayburn Tollway and US 380 in Frisco.
