Question: How do I find out about upcoming road expansions projects and their timelines?
The City of Forney and the Forney Economic Development Corporation often receive inquiries about road expansion. Most major roads such as Highway 80, FM 548, 1641, 740, 460, and more are not controlled by the City. These roads are owned by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT). To view TXDOT projects, check out their interactive map.
