Transportation

Roads and Highways

Two Texas state highways run through city limits. Texas State Highway 121 runs along a portion of the eastern edge of Colleyville, while Texas State Highway 26, also known as Colleyville Boulevard or Grapevine Highway, bisects the city, running southwest to northeast. The section of Highway 26 within Colleyville is currently undergoing an expansion from four to six lanes.[24] The speed limit on every road in the city is 30 mph, excluding the 45 mph speed limit on Highway 26 set by TxDOT.

Rail

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad runs through the city along the former Cotton Belt Route right-of-way, offering rides on vintage locomotives from downtown Grapevine to downtown Fort Worth. Commuter rail service is expected to begin in January 2019 with the introduction of TEXRail[25], which will offer service from Fort Worth to DFW Airport, running through Northeast Tarrant County. Due to immense opposition from the Colleyville City Council and residents, the commuter train will not stop in Colleyville, so the closest stations will be the North Richland Hills/Smithfield station to the west and the Grapevine station to the east.

Airports

Two major airports serve passengers in the Metroplex. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world, provides airline services to over 200 destinations. American Airlines, headquartered nearby in Fort Worth, maintains its largest hub at DFW. Colleyville has experienced tremendous population growth because of its proximity to the airport. Dallas Love Field, in Northwest Dallas, is home to the headquarters of Southwest Airlines and serves as a focus city for the airline.

Trails

The Cotton Belt Trail[26] is an eleven mile bicyclist and pedestrian trail that lies parallel to the former Cotton Belt Route railroad through Grapevine, Colleyville, Hurst, and North Richland Hills, with 3.4 miles running through Colleyville. The Colleyville Nature Center also provides a 1.25 mile hiking trail.
