Denton County's effort to alleviate traffic congestion on FM 407 under I-35W is nearing completion. The project, funded by Denton County, has recently finished striping on FM 407 under the bridge. This allows for two lanes of traffic to proceed in both directions.
According to Northlake Mayor Montini, the updated traffic flow has already shown improvement. He observed no backups in any direction during his visits to the intersection on Monday. The mayor noted that this is a significant change from typical traffic conditions at this time of day.
Further details on the project are available from the source. The final product is still years away from completion, but this initial step is a positive development for local traffic.
