It's been a llllloooooonnnnnnngggggg time since we've talked about the Southwest Parkway project in Fort Worth.  BTW-this is NOT to be confused with GREAT Southwest Parkway in Grand Prairie.  What we're talking about here is the first phase of a tollway project that cuts through  the west side of  Fort Worth.  A big hold-up to starting the project: Traversing Union Pacific  lines.  That problem is no more as the NTTA has been given permission to build a bridge over the railway.  Before long expect to see crews laying the ground work for the 8.7 mile project and the road is scheduled to open in 2012. 

After this part's done,  the next phase will begin.  It wil be known as the Chisolm Trail and will go 19 miles south into Johnson County to Cleburne.
