Where it runs
SH-183 is the Airport Freeway across northeast Tarrant County, through Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Hurst, Bedford and Euless. It passes DFW Airport's south entrance, continues east through Irving into Dallas, picks up the John W. Carpenter Freeway name where SH-114 ends, and finishes at I-35E.
Where cars get stuck
TEXpress lanes run along most of it, from the North Tarrant Express in Hurst and Bedford to the Midtown Express through Irving, so the inside lanes are often toll lanes with little room to stop. Airport traffic merges at International Parkway, and the Bedford and Euless stretch carries heavy commuter volume.
If you stop here
- If you can still drive, move right and take the next exit to the frontage road.
- Stalled in a TEXpress lane? Stay in the car, hazards on, and call 911.
- On the shoulder, stay belted in with the doors locked; traffic here never really slows.
- Don't open the driver's door into traffic or stand beside it.
- Tell dispatch eastbound or westbound and the nearest exit, and say whether you're west or east of the airport.
What we fix on the shoulder
Service prices; one dispatch fee is added per job.

Questions
01Why do people call both SH-183 and SH-121 the Airport Freeway?
The two routes share the Airport Freeway through North Richland Hills, Hurst and Bedford, and the name stays with SH-183 east toward the airport. Giving us the route number and the city keeps the technician from heading to the wrong stretch.
02Can you reach me near DFW Airport's south entrance on SH-183?
Yes. If you're outside the airport on SH-183 or its frontage road, give us your direction and the nearest exit. If you've already entered airport property, say so, since airport rules can affect where a service vehicle may stop.
