The Texas Department of Transportation’s 10-year transportation plan will invest more than $138 billion in road projects throughout the state, including Collin, Denton and Tarrant counties.

A closer look: The Texas Transportation Commission approved the 2027 Unified Transportation Program, or UTP, funding, which includes $95 billion for projects across the state and $43 billion for development and routine maintenance. The investment is expected to improve safety, reduce congestion and strengthen the supply chain, according to a news release.

Collin County: Most of the new work approved in Collin County will be on or near US 380.

The Dallas District already began construction on the first phase of a new 30-mile US 380 freeway system in Collin County.

Denton County: The Denton County portion of the work will focus mainly on I-35W, though some work will also happen in Northlake and Prosper.

Texas' first female lieutenant governor, Austin state Rep. Vikki Goodwin, held her first news conference since the election on Nov. 10 in Austin.

What happened: Goodwin, a Democrat, also announced her political transition team, which is led by lobbyist Angela Hale and outgoing state Rep. Chris Turner, D-Grand Prairie.

The team, which includes four former state senators—two Democrats and two Republicans—will help prepare Goodwin to take over as lieutenant governor in January and work with state senators.

"My focus right now is sitting down with each senator, many of whom I worked with while in the House, to talk about their individual priorities and how we can work together so they can represent their districts," Goodwin told reporters Nov. 10.

More context: Goodwin will preside over the Republican-majority Texas Senate. How much power she will have over the chamber is largely up to senators, who will approve new Senate rules when the legislature convenes Jan. 12.
