NorthGate Constructors is scheduled to begin construction on the $1.02 billion DFW Connector in mid-February.  The corridor runs along state highways 121 and 114 north of the DFW Airport.  The eight-mile initial phase of the project should be completed by 2014 and is expected to double roadway capacity.  A comprehensive development agreement with TxDOT allows NorthGate to design and construct the Connector project simultaneously to likely shorten the total construction time.  The project will improve mobility through expanded free lanes, continuous frontage roads and toll managed lanes.  The DFW Connector is publicly funded with $667 million from the public gas tax and $250 million from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.
