Dallas Fort Worth, TX, October 29, 2026 —
TEXRail is breaking ground on a $270 million extension project intended to connect Fort Worth’s Near Southside and Medical District with downtown and DFW Airport, according to the information provided about the project.
The reported route links the two Fort Worth districts with downtown and the airport. The project’s stated cost is $270 million. No further details were provided about the extension’s route, the number or location of stops, or how the connection will be made.
The information identifies the work as an extension project and says it is breaking ground. It does not provide a construction schedule, an anticipated opening date, or details about the project’s funding. The contractor’s name and the status of any permits or inspections were also not provided.
No additional information was provided about expected travel times, service frequency, projected ridership, or how the extension may affect current TEXRail service. The available details therefore establish the project’s reported cost and intended connections, but do not describe its design, construction milestones, or expected operating arrangements.
Further project specifics, including the timeline and the precise alignment between Near Southside, the Medical District, downtown and DFW Airport, were not included in the summary. The stated plan is to connect those destinations through a $270 million TEXRail extension now breaking ground.
