East Lancaster Avenue Reconstruction

The city of Fort Worth is partnering with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and Trinity Metro to advance four regionally significant projects in the city limits.  One of those is East Lancaster Avenue, which is a TXDOT-owned roadway.  East Lancaster Avenue will be reconstructed from downtown to Dottie Lynn Parkway in the years ahead, which should provide not only an improved roadway, but economic development opportunities.
