FT. WORTH, TX — Construction continues on Haslet Parkway, a four-lane east-west thoroughfare that will enhance the distribution of goods while providing better mobility to residents of Fort Worth. Haslet Parkway runs from I-35W to FM 156 at Avondale-Haslet Road and is planned as a gateway to facilitate freight movement and better quality of life for residents.

The roadway is part of the $64.4-million AllianceTexas/Haslet Accessibility Project, which received a $20-million Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development grant from the federal government in 2018. Construction of the roadway, which has been underway since fall 2020, is scheduled for completion in 2023.

“Haslet Parkway is a prime example of what can be accomplished through regional cooperation,” said Michael Morris, Director of Transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments. “This new parkway will help tie the community together and ensure residents have access to jobs, whether they work in the city or across the region.”

The project totals about $64.4 million and includes: $23.1 million in Regional Transportation Council funds; $20-million BUILD Grant; $20.2 million of local funds from the City of Haslet, Tarrant County, and private sector sources; and $1.1 million from the Texas Department of Transportation.
