North Tarrant Expressway, Segment East | Texas, US
North Tarrant Expressway, Segment East | Texas, US Located in north central Texas, Fort Worth is part of a sprawling metropolitan area that includes Dallas and Arlington. The three cities combine for a total of 6.7 million inhabitants. Challenge Tra?c was congested in Fort Worth, and in smaller cities to the east—North Richland Hills, Haltom City, Hurst, Bedford and Euless. A new highway, the North Tarrant Expressway, was needed to ease the ?ow of tra?c.

The works were completed along the IH 820, IH 35W and SH 183 corridors. TheSpanish Construct
