Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson today announced that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will receive a $1 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration for the construction of a 2.6 mile project in Tarrant County. The project will consist of a six-lane road from State Highway 114 to Dove Road and a four-lane road from Dove Road to Randol Mill Road in Westlake. The funding was allocated by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), the economic recovery package that Congress passed and President Obama signed in February. Congresswoman Johnson was the only Member of Congress from North Texas to vote for ARRA.
“This project will incorporate cutting-edge transportation technology that will yield a stronger and safer road, which thousands of North Texans rely on for travel each day,” Congresswoman Johnson said. “I am delighted to see our state’s share of economic recovery funding utilized to bolster our region's infrastructure and put people to work at such an expeditious rate. I commend Secretary LaHood and his team for the outstanding job they are doing in getting funds out the door and allocated quickly.”
Construction on the project is expected to begin in fall of 2009.
