| The East Branch 190 |
An
outer loop around Dallas County was first envisioned in
1964. In 1968, the Texas Highway Commission authorized
an outer loop around Dallas and designated it as Loop 9.
In 1976, a management audit of the State Department of
Highway Public Transportation (SDHPT, now TxDOT) indicated
a financial shortfall for highway improvements. In 1988,
the cities of Garland, Rowlett, Mesquite, and Dallas County
sponsored a study to extend SH 190 from SH 78 to IH 20.
In 1991, SDHPT commissioned further study of SH 190 from
SH 78 to IH 20 and recommended an alignment. In 2000, the
North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) began an updated/more
detailed study to develop the section from SH 78 to IH
30 as a tollway. The planning studies for this section
are nearing completion with construction anticipated for
late 2006. |
