Based on what I can tell it looks like this new toll road is anticipated to reach from downtown Fort Worth to the Highway 67 loop around Cleburne.

My recollection of the limited toll roads I have driven is that once you are on them, then they are kinda like a interstate in that there is no red lights, stop signs, etc. Has anybody heard if this new road will be like this? Any ideas of the cost to access the road? Sorry if this question is dumb, but I never use toll roads and am not familiar with the costs associated.

Also, has anybody seen how many lanes they are anticipated to construct? I thought I read somewhere that the Southwest Pkwy portion would be 6 lanes but the Chisholm Pkwy portion would just be 2 lanes.

It seems like this new road could be a real game changer for opening up new locations to live and commute to Fort Worth for work.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Don't know too much about it yet, but I found this link at texdot.

And you're right, this should be a game changer for areas south of Fort Worth. Hello Glen Rose! =)

Jackrabbit-

That is exactly what I was thinking. I grew up in Glen Rose and I have wondered if the new toll road would make the commute more feasible. The drive though Granbury and/or Cleburne/Joshua is a beating with all the lights.

Thanks for the link.

I live in Coppell but have a grandmother in Hamilton. This would really improve my commute to her house. 67 is such a beating and the cops between Alvarado and Cleburne (Keene) are always giving me the evil eye. I love Glen Rose and if I ever work in FtW, it would definitely be something I look into. Nothing like sitting in the river on a hot day and seeing how many beers you can drink! =)
