Transportation

The City is in the center of a highway
network that includes seven spokes of an
extensive highway system. Three major
freeways, State Hwy 114, State Hwy
121, and Interstate Hwy 635, intersect in
the heart of Grapevine and provide
excellent access to Dallas and Fort
Worth and the area's shopping,
entertainment and employment centers.

There are 43 motor freight lines
providing service to Grapevine and the
City is within the Dallas and Fort Worth
Commercial Zone for deliveries. Railroad service is offered by the Cotton Belt railroad and the
Southern Pacific railroad, both with daily switching service.

The cities of Colleyville, Southlake, Euless, Coppell and Lewisville, all rapidly growing
communities, are located adjacent to Grapevine. Because of Grapevine's central location and
access to freeways, retailers attract customers from several of these surrounding cities and the
DFW International Airport.

TEXRail is a 27-mile commuter rail line that extends from downtown Fort Worth, across northeast
Tarrant County, through North Richland Hills and Grapevine, and into DFW International
Airport’s Terminal B. This line, which began service Jan. 10, 2019, offers a comfortable and
convenient option for traveling to and from the airport. TEXRail features level boarding, a
designated quiet car, seat back tray tables, overhead luggage racks, vertical bike racks and USB
charging ports.
