Preserving our Past.

Preparing for our Future.

The Denton County of today is different than it was 20 years ago. Just imagine what it will be in 20 more years.

Growth and development continues to move north and east in the county. Improvements will be needed to accommodate the increasing population of our county and our region.

This is why Denton County is partnering with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to study a section of the Regional Outer Loop across Denton County. As a new location freeway, this section of the Regional outer loop would extend approximately 23 miles from U.S. Interstate 35 on the west to the Dallas North Tollway on the east.

We will be working together with residents to prepare for our future, while also respecting our environment and quality of life.

The Regional Outer Loop in Denton County is part of a larger system of proposed highways that link together to form the Regional Outer Loop, extending east into Collin County, and then south through eastern Collin County, Rockwall County and into Kaufman County.

The project location map below depicts the alignment segments under consideration for this project. A small portion of Collin County is included due to the fact that the eastern terminus for the project is the Dallas North Tollway in Collin County and the connection between the Denton County and Collin County portions of the Regional Outer Loop is being evaluated.
