Of course it is Fictional. See the imperfections East of Tioga ?? It seems D.N.T. TO I - 35 would be routed on F.M. 121. The two Bridge proposals are different alignments for the same F.M. 121. It could be solved by construcing Frontage Roads particularly in that area. Or they would probably want to realign F.M. 121, or realign D.N.T. TO I - 35. This Beautiful Toll Road would probably have to connect I - 35 in side Texas with out getting Oklahoma involved. This is why The Willis Bridge took very long time to be replaced.

As for the River Crossings being too close to each other: They would be better to simply Twin The Willis Bridge. However, any Highway & Bridge projects would be welcomed by Crazy Casinos. Even Winstar would benefit from a D.N.T. / O.T.A. TO I - 35 ... They would ostensibly construct more buildings to Face The Beautiful Toll Road.

I also completely support converting Spur 503 to be part of D.N.T.. Do not downgrade it to a Surface Boulevard please and thank you.

TxDOT were the ones dragging their feet on the Willis Bridge. ODOT had their share of the funds set aside for years before TxDOT ponied up their share. Also, OSDOT would have to be the lead agency on any new bridge as the state line runs roughly along the south bank of the Red River.

The only thing that seems concrete is the path following the new Spur 121 up to FM 121 west of Gunter. North of FM 121, the devil is in the details. Might depend on which Grayson County commissioner has the most pull.

Technically you are right ODOT should be the lead agency on most projects on the Red River. While Oklahoma should be the lead agency. That is not always the case.

Yes, the state line is the vegetation line on the southern bank as roughly defined before Texas was part of the USA and clarified by multiple commissions in the two states over particularly the past 3 decades.  The lake itself is a different animal. At US-377 it is almost to the northern bank of the lake (The approximate location of the river before impoundment). 3/4 or more of the bridge is actually in Texas. This however is moot as the bridge is actually open.
