Bush Turnpike Eastern Extension Moves Forward
====================================
NTTA has received authorization to begin the Right of Way purchasing process for the construction of the Eastern Extension of the Bush Turnpike. This is a major milestone to construct the roadway because representatives of NTTA will begin visiting with landowners to make offers for the purchase of land needed to build the extension.

The Eastern Extension of the Bush Turnpike is a proposed 9.9-mile segment from SH 78 in Garland to IH-30. The proposed six-lane toll road will pass through Garland, Sachse and Rowlett and will include a one-mile bridge over Dallas’ Lake Ray Hubbard.

Current plans are to begin construction in 2008 and for the entire road to be open to traffic in 2012.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They got held up because of Rowlett. They have been bickering over actually allowing it (YOU WILL!!!!!!! As in DUH! It has been on the books since the 1960's and you knew it was coming BEFORE you bought your house or you SHOULD have, due diligence. Okay, off my soapbox ). If they would have not fought it all of these years and demanded study after study they would have had it thru there by now but NOOOOO, and now all of their roads are torn up and the traffic in that place is a ROYAL MESS! 190 in the Garland portion is just about done w/ only about maybe 2 miles and that is behind Firewheel Mall. Then the part right at I30. I saw some of their trucks and other "official" looking people standing in the middle of the ROW at the mall the other day all pointing and looking at different things.

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!

I heard it was going to turn south and meet up with I-20 in Arlington, too.
