The Texas House voted to approve at private developers to take over construction on at least 14 road projects.
The list of projects is considered crucial to the growth and development in Fort Worth, Texas and will also help with traffic relief and car accidents in the area.
Included in the list of projects is the expansion of Interstate 35W from Interstate 30 near downtown Fort Worth to Texas 114 near Texas Motor Speedway.
What lawmakers are calling "comprehensive development agreements" were added as amendments to a sunset review bill for the Texas Department of Transportation. Now, the Senate must agree to the changes in the bill.
Other road projects in Fort Worth and Dallas that may become privatized include Texas 183 from Texas 121 in Bedford to Texas 161 in Irving, and East Loop 820 from Texas 183 to Randol Mill Road.
