A new $20 million autonomous trucking bridge is planned to be completed by the end of 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas. The three-lane bridge will connect a major BNSF intermodal facility with the Alliance warehouses in order to 'significantly improve freight flow while reducing truck traffic on public roads'.

Why it matters

The bridge is part of the larger 27,000-acre AllianceTexas development, which has been embracing autonomous trucking technology to streamline freight movement between major logistics hubs. This project aims to further optimize freight flow and reduce congestion in the area.

The details

The autonomous trucking bridge will be built over FM 156 and will be closed to regular traffic, allowing only semi-trucks to use it for transporting cargo between the BNSF facility and Alliance warehouses. This includes autonomous semi-trucks that have been operating in the Alliance warehouses since November 2025.

  • The $20 million bridge project is expected to be completed by November 2026.
