Nice addition to the Metroplex highway network. I'm surprised, though, that it wasn't built as a tollway (since Texas seems to be make all their new controlled access highways tollways).
As a native DFW resident living in Fort Worth-Haltom City, I've been waiting for this for a long time. FINALLY will make getting to Roanoke and Trophy Club easier. Will also serve as a nice alternative if 114 & 121 are bad.
SH-170 is definitely a nice freeway, and much-needed. I'll note that TxDOT really needs to do something about the striping on SH-114 along the Westlake/Trophy Club line, between the SH-170 interchange and the Denton/Tarrant county line. There are a lot of faded stripes, which can create dangerous situations where some of the old striping (from a time before SH-114 was a complete freeway at that location, eg. the ramps to/from Davis Blvd. west of that intersection) is more visible than the striping for the current configuration. I'm honestly surprised I haven't heard about more traffic accidents along this segment of SH-114.
