Relating to the construction of nontolled frontage roads adjacent to certain toll projects.
HB 5347 requires new toll road projects in Texas to include at least one free frontage road lane in each direction of travel adjacent to the toll lanes. This applies only to toll projects with contracts signed after September 1, 2025, meaning existing toll projects remain unaffected. The entity building the toll road must construct and maintain these frontage roads, which will serve as free access options for drivers. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025, aiming to provide non-toll alternatives along new toll corridors.
