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.
