The Texas Department of Transportation opened the eastbound lanes the week of March 4, and the westbound lanes opened March 11. The details The project started in September 2020, accord- ing to Val Lopez, Texas Department of Transporta- tion public information officer for the Fort Worth District. The project’s total cost is $111.8 million, up from the $99 million original estimate.
