Do you drive on Texas 183, Texas 114 or Loop 12? The area hasn't seen improvements since 1973 and is now the focus of major construction as part of The Midtown Express (SH Managed Lanes Project).
Construction crews are reconstruction the highway format trying to meet the growing demand; 150,000 to 170,000 cars pass through this area every day. TEXpress lanes are being added as well.
The project covers 14.8 miles on 183 from 121 to Interstate 35E. On 114, at International Parkway north of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, construction covers a 10.5 mile stretch to the southeast where 114 joins 183 near the old Texas Stadium site. Loop 12 is the shortest stretch where 2.5 miles are under construction from 183 north to I-35E.
Texas 114 will be completed later this year. On 183, the construction is about 40 percent complete. The entire project should be finished in 2018.
