FORT WORTH — Authorities are not allowing longhorns with the Fort Worth Herd to roam on the new Chisholm Trail Parkway during a weekend of festivities to open the tollway.
Seems the North Texas Tollway Authority has decided the road is for cars, not cattle.
The 28-mile toll road, named after the historical cattle trails that led to Oklahoma, Kansas and beyond in the mid-1800s, is scheduled to open to traffic Sunday. It will connect Interstate 30 near downtown Fort Worth to U.S. 67 in Cleburne. Crews will open one on- and off-ramp at a time beginning about 8 a.m. Sunday, starting near University Drive and working south. The process of getting the entire road open is likely to take several hours, one tollway authority official said.

I'm stealing that line.
Keep them dogies movin’!
I’m still looking for the inevitable Aggie punch line..
Maybe if you plant those chickens with their heads out of the ground...
So do they get to roam on the tollway after the weekend festivities are over?
