A ten-year transportation program approved by the Texas Transportation Commission on Aug. 27 projects $16.5 billion combined for TxDOT's two North Texas districts, Dallas and Fort Worth, out of a statewide plan of roughly $138 billion.
Within that regional figure, $491 million in the Dallas district and $200 million in the Fort Worth district is attached to Texas Clear Lanes, the state effort aimed at its most congested chokepoints. Denton County's Interstate 35W and Dallas County's Interstate 345 are listed for additional funding under the program, TxDOT's Dallas district says, with no start dates set.
None of those figures is a commitment. The program forecasts what could be funded rather than budgeting it, and a corridor listed in it has no guarantee of construction. TxDOT Dallas district public information officer Tony Hartzel has said funding levels can change and that the plan does not tie money to projects in a way that assures they will be built.
The Frisco corridor
TxDOT's project page lists US 380 from Teel Parkway and Championship Drive to west of Lakewood Drive, about 5.9 miles through Prosper and Frisco, for conversion to a freeway. The environmental review is complete. Construction was anticipated to begin in 2026, and no cost has been published.
The SH 289 interchange at US 380 is also on TxDOT's project list. Its page carries no cost and no schedule.
