Many of the planned projects in the plan are segments identified on Texas' 100 Most Congested Roadways list. Many of the projects will be funded through legislative and voter-approved initiatives that allocate portioned funds from oil and gas taxes, sales taxes and more to the state highway fund.
Over $10 billion will cover areas of North Texas including Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Kaufman, Navarro and Rockwall counties. New authorizations in the Dallas District plan include: Dallas County: Interstate 30 corridor improvements between Interstate 635 and Bass Pro Drive in Garland. The cost is an estimated $177 million project with an estimated let date range of FY 2027-2032.
Dallas County: US 80 widening in Mesquite from east of Town East Boulevard to the east of Gus Thomasson Road. The cost is an estimated $46.7 million project with an estimated let date range of FY 2027-2032. Denton County: State Highway 114 widening in Roanoke from east of Interstate 35W to Business 114.
