Alliance Airport, Fort Worth
Transportation leaders from the region will celebrate the groundbreaking on Thursday of Haslet Parkway, a four-lane, east-west thoroughfare in far North Fort Worth’s AllianceTexas area.
The roadway is part of the $64.4 million AllianceTexas/Haslet Accessibility Project, which received a $20 million federal BUILD grant in 2018. Construction, underway since fall 2020, is scheduled for completion in 2023. The parkway, which connects to Interstate 35 on the west side of the freeway at Texas 170 to FM 156 at Avondale-Haslet Road, is planned as a “gateway to facilitate effective freight movement and better quality of life for residents.”
The ceremony is 9:30 a.m. Thursday April 29 at 120 Intermodal Parkway in Haslet. Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley, County Commissioner Gary Fickes, Haslet Mayor Bob Golden, and Michael Morris, the North Central Texas Council of Governments transportation director, will discuss how the project was conceived and will impact mobility and reliability for Haslet and the region.
“Haslet Parkway is a prime example of what can be accomplished through regional cooperation,” Morris said in a release. “This was truly a team effort, beginning with the tireless work of the City of Haslet and Tarrant County, who have been terrific partners since the beginning.”
The AllianceTexas Haslet Accessibility Improvement Project includes the extension of Intermodal Parkway as a four-lane divided thoroughfare from its current terminus south to the new Haslet Parkway facility; and widening of Avondale-Haslet Road to a four-lane divided thoroughfare from FM 156 to the Haslet city limits.
