The Texas Department of Transportation is working to transform a nearly 3-mile stretch of SH 114 between I-35W and Hwy. 114 Business into a six-lane freeway that includes additional frontage roads. Crews will also rebuild the eastbound frontage road as part of the project. “The purpose and need of the project is to improve mobility and bring the roadway up to current design standards,” TxDOT Public Information Officer Tila Grant said. ”The proposed project is needed to meet future travel demands stemming from projected population growth and traffic volumes.” According to TxDOT, the project cost is $99 million. Grant said the project, which began construction in August 2023 and is slated to be completed in spring 2026, is funded by the state.

Once the reconstruction is complete, those lanes will become frontage roads and the gener- al-purpose highway lanes will replace the grass
