[6][7] The Outer Loop is planned to run for approximately 50 miles[8][9] from the future northern extension of the Dallas North Tollway in Celina to Interstate 30 near Royse City.

[1][8] This section will eventually become the north frontage road as main freeway lanes are added.

Segment 2 will run from FM 6 between Nevada and Josephine to the Rockwall County line near Royse City.

This segment could possibly be extended further south past Interstate 30 through Rockwall, Kaufman and Dallas counties as part of a much larger outer loop.

This section could be extended further west through Denton County as part of a larger outer loop.
