Any city girl always loves it when new highways open up so we can get to wherever we are going faster and more efficiently! The highly anticipated Highway 121 extension that will take you from east of Stonebriar Center to Coppell/Grapevine border in 60 mph speed is open already greatly appreciated by yours truly! This new infrastructure is going to add so many options for people that have been traveling on other North Dallas east/west bound infrastructures like Hwy 190, 380 and even 635. From the Southwest corner of Frisco, you can be at DFW airport in half the time it would have taken you only last week! Try it...you will be smiling the whole way. Forget stop lights and traffic jams and just giddily glide on thru the fast roads of Hwy 121, but don't forget your toll tag---this is a toll road!

We in Frisco are very happy about the opening of our part, but some other cities are not celebrating in full just yet. According to TXDOT, Hwy 121 tollway will be fully accessible from southeast Frisco (Hillcrest) to I-75 by 2010, so Mckinney citizens get ready! DID YOU KNOW? When complete, the entire Hwy 121 Tollway project will increase the mobility within North Dallas by a lovely 26 miles to travel in ease! And I am one very happy blogger because of it!

FUN FACT! "On November 30, 2007, officials of the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) presented a $3.197 billion check to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and North Central Texas Council of Governments for the right to design, build, operate and maintain State Highway (SH) 121 in Collin, Dallas and Denton counties."
