Southwest Parkway (SH 121 from I-30 to Altamesa Blvd.)
Southwest Parkway is a proposed 8.7 mile, six-lane tollway that will extend from the City of Fort Worth's Central Business District at I-30 to southwest Fort Worth. The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA), the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the City of Fort Worth, in conjunction with a Citizens Advisory Group have cooperatively developed a Corridor Master Plan to guide the design development of the corridor with respect to aesthetic features. Final environmental clearance for the corridor was received in June 2009, and final design is nearing completion.
TxDOT has been developing final design plans that will eventually extend the toll road further south from Altamesa Boulevard to U.S. 67 in Cleburne, which is an additional 19 miles. The portion of the extended toll road through Johnson County is referred to as Chisholm Trail Parkway.
NTTA and TxDOT are working together on financial planning for the entire Southwest Parkway/Chisholm Trail Parkway corridor, and pending a declaration of development by NTTA, will finalize an agreement to provide for the NTTA to complete development, and to operate and maintain the entire corridor.
The corridor team has developed a series of maps, using 2007 aerial photographs of the project area, to help interested citizens understand how Southwest Parkway/Chisholm Trail Parkway will intersect with existing roadway infrastructure. You can now click on the following links to download any one of the five maps of various segments along the corridor:

CONSTRUCTION UNDER WAY ON SOUTHWEST PARKWAY
Fort Worth residents are now seeing signs of progress on the Southwest Parkway as construction activities began in mid-April 2010. For progress to be made on this regional mobility project, NTTA construction teams must close various lanes on some streets and completely close other streets. These closures will last through April 2011. An informative handout is available to you. For additional information, please feel free to contact us at the e-mail and phone number listed below.
