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.
