Take a Drive on the Newest Portion of PGBT  Drive the new six-lane eastern extension of the President George Bush Turnpike between State Highway 78 and Interstate 30, and you’ll find your way to great shopping and dining at Firewheel Town Center and other destinations along the way. With the extension, you can travel the one-mile bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard and continue on to Interstate 30 nonstop.
Experience the 9.9-mile drive with this video on the NTTA’s YouTube channel. You’ll agree with the NTTA’s Facebook fans who posted these reviews:

As with any NTTA roadway, the best way to drive – and the most cost effective – is with a TollTag. ZipCash customers pay 50 percent more than TollTag customers, so if you have a friend without a TollTag, tell them save money on the tolls for more shopping money at Firewheel Town Center. A trip on the extension from I-30 to Firewheel Parkway costs $1.52 with a TollTag, compared to $2.28 with ZipCash. |
