Company Description:
The DFW Connector is being designed and constructed by NorthGate Constructors, a joint venture between Fort Worth-based Kiewit Texas Construction, L.P., and San Antonio-based Zachry Construction Corporation. Project Description:
NorthGate Constructors is working in collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to develop, design and reconstruct over $1 bill
ion worth of improvements as part of the DFW Connector. The DFW Connector includes state highways 114 and 121 and adjacent roadways located north of DFW Airport. This area, which sits near the intersection of the area's four most populous counties, is a vital connection for North Texas business, commercial and recreational interests. Using a design-build process, construction of the 8.4-mile initial phase of the ultimate 14.4-mile project, will be expedited. Instead of 8-10 years, this project will be complete by 2014. Project Facts:
- The State of Texas owns the DFW Connector. TxDOT is monitoring construction and overseeing operations of the project.
- The eight-mile project consists of rebuilding portions of four highways, two interchanges and five bridges.
- These improvements will enhance mobility and air quality through expanded roadway capacity, toll managed lanes and continuous frontage roads.
- New direct-connect ramps are being built from northbound SH 121 to westbound SH 114, and from eastbound SH 114 to southbound SH 121, replacing the current connection at William D. Tate.
- Continuous frontage road lanes are being built along both westbound and eastbound SH 114 between William D. Tate and Northwest Highway.
- At the widest point along SH 114, between Texan Trail and International Parkway, the highway corridor will be 24 lanes wide. FAQ’s:
