121

Similar roads can vary enormously in cost. A striking example is Maryland's Inter County Connector (MDICC) and Texas' 121 Sam Rayburn Tollway (TX121SRT). They have a lot in common. They are both 3+3 mainline lanes, they are roughly comparable length (18.8 miles vs 26 miles, 30km vs 42km).

North Texas Tollway Authority have fired an employee who police determined was responsible for a spectacular crash and fire on the Sam Rayburn Tollway (TX121) April 8.

DFW Connector, a huge new expressway complex on the northern and northwestern edge of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) will have a small toll component, but construction of the $1.02b project is being financed with tax revenues.

North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) has a groundbreaking ceremony Friday Feb 22 at the heavily fought-over TX121 tollroad project north of Dallas.
