114 Freeway
Also see Construction photos, May 2001
The 114 freeway crosses the northwest DFW suburbs and is in various stages of development. The freeway east of DFW airport was constructed around 1970. 114 north of DFW is part of the "funnel", where 121 and 114 come together. The funnel is under study as of June 2001 and not yet finalized, but the recommended alternative for expansion will be 10 main lanes and 4 HOT lanes (2 in each direction. A short section of freeway exists west of the funnel.
Just west of the funnel, about 3 miles of 114 are currently being upgraded to a 6-lane freeway with feeders on a 400 foot right-of-way. An additional $36.5 million in contracts will be awarded in summer 2001 to complete the freeway section from DFW airport to Kirkwood.
The Roanoke bypass opened in 2000. It includes a very short length of freeway, but is mostly feeder roads. West of Roanoke, 114 was also upgraded to a feeder road facility in 2000. As of September 2000, there is no funding in place to upgrade 114 to a full freeway from Roanoke to I35W.
Long term plans show 114 being upgraded to a freeway for about 2-3 miles west of I-35W.
