Proximity to the new Dallas Intermodal Terminal (DIT) and the evolving "Inland Port of Dallas" coupled with direct access to vital N-S and E-W Interstate Highways, AND a growing municipal airport are all vital ingredients for the successful cost-effective flow of goods along the River of Trade. | Highways | | | Distance to neareast Interstate | Immediate | | Highways Serving City | 5 | | Federal | U.S. Hwy 67 | | State | Texas Hwy 342 | | Interstate | I-35E, I-45, I-20/635 |
