AUSTIN – Texas highway officials, carving up federal stimulus money, are endorsing projects that range from a big toll road in Fort Worth to road improvements across North Texas.


Among the ideas:


•$250 million for the DFW Connector toll road project, which would expand State Highways 121 and 114 near Grapevine in Tarrant County.


•$60 million to repair dozens of existing highways in Dallas, Collin, Tarrant and nine other nearby counties.


•$144 million for a new interchange at Interstate 20 and State Highway 121 in Tarrant County.
