en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Dallas-Fort Worth area has recently seen progress on several transportation infrastructure projects, covering areas such as road widening, rail transit extensions, airport facility construction, and pavement rehabilitation.

Among the projects in preparation, the Legacy Drive widening project has taken a critical step forward. The plan involves expanding Legacy Drive to four lanes between Carey Road and Punk Carter Parkway, along with optimizing the intersection with FM 428. The Celina City Council approved a two-year detailed design services contract at its May 12 meeting. The project has a total budget of $2.6 million, funded by the city, with an expected completion date of December 2030.

There is also new momentum for the TEXRail extension project. Trinity Metro plans to extend the line to the Fort Worth Medical District, adding approximately 2.1 miles of new track and establishing a station named Near Southside/Medical District. The project has secured $167 million in full funding, with a station groundbreaking scheduled for this year and service anticipated to begin by the end of 2029. Funding sources include the U.S. Department of Transportation, Trinity Metro, and the North Central Texas Council of Governments.

Additionally, the SH 5 utility relocation project in the City of McKinney has reached 90% design completion and is expected to enter the bidding phase later this year. This project involves relocating city water and wastewater lines before the Texas Department of Transportation undertakes the reconstruction of SH 5. The project budget is $27.7 million, jointly funded by the City of McKinney and the Texas Department of Transportation, with construction scheduled from late 2026 to late 2028.

Regarding projects currently under construction, the Terminal F development at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has achieved a new breakthrough. This terminal, which will have international flight processing capabilities, is designated for exclusive use by American Airlines. The DFW International Airport Board has approved a $50 million reimbursement agreement for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and design work for Phase 1 and Phase 1A of the terminal. The entire project costs $4 billion, jointly funded by the airport and American Airlines, with Phase 1 planned to be operational in 2027.

Meanwhile, the Custer Road concrete repair project in the City of Plano is underway. Crews are demolishing and repairing the existing reinforced concrete main lanes and rehabilitating sidewalks along the segment from SH 121 to Hedgecoxe Road. Currently, one lane in each direction on Custer Road from SH 121 to Ridgeview Drive is closed around the clock, with an additional lane closure in each direction daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The project budget is $3 million, funded by the City of Plano, with construction extending from March 2026 to May 2027.
