The proposed project would construct a new elevated bridge approximately 1.4 miles long that would connect the new Spur 170 from the mainlanes east of I-35W to Intermodal Parkway, with associated roadway on either side, for a total project length of about 2.4 miles. The Spur 170 bridge would consist of one 14-foot lane with shoulders, in both directions.
The proposed project would improve regional connectivity and enhance mobility for existing and future traffic by providing direct access for SH 170 traffic (including truck traffic) heading to the intermodal port and the Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport, which would reduce traffic on city streets.
Although nearly 10 acres of additional right of way would be required, no residential or non-residential structures are anticipated to be displaced at this time.
