A 130-mile recreational trail rolling over rural Northeast Texas
Progress is Coming Soon to the NETT in Bowie County!
Improvements to a portion of the Northeast Texas Trail System are scheduled to begin in November, according to plans awarded last week by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Work will take place along US 82 in Bowie County from County Road 4105 west of Malta to State Highway 98 west of New Boston, an area covering just over three miles.
“The trail will be moved an additional 50 feet away from the roadway. Once complete, the improved, aggregate surface path will be 10-feet wide,” said Texarkana Area Engineer Tommy Bruce. “The project will include clearing and grading, along with safety improvements including crosswalk striping, safety bollards, curb ramps and signage for street crossings.”
Garret Shields Infrastructure of The Colony, Texas was awarded the project with a bid of $1,958,509.
Once work is underway, the project is estimated to take 12 months to complete, weather permitting.
TxDOT Transportation Alternatives Grants
The NorthEast Texas Trail Coalition is very pleased to announce that four TxDOT grants totaling nearly $7.5 million dollars were recently awarded to fully develop over 27 miles of the east half of the NETT. These federal funding dollars were earmarked specifically for Transportation Alternatives projects such as sidewalks, shared-use paths, bike lanes, pedestrian bridges, and other features that enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety for all ages and abilities.

AUSTIN – Texas is taking another step forward in providing safe, long-distance travel options for bicyclists and pedestrians after TxDOT received $25 million in federal funds to expand two trail corridors in northeast Texas and El Paso. Both trails are components of the state’s envisioned Bicycle Tourism Trails network.
History of the NETT
When completed the Northeast Texas Trail will be the longest Hike/Bike and Equestrian Trail in Texas and the 4th longest in the U.S.A.
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul.
