International Parkway is a major north–south freeway in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Its main purpose is to provide access to DFW Airport from the metropolitan area. Part of the Parkway from its southern end at SH 183, (Airport Freeway) and SH 360 to the South Toll Plaza for DFW Airport is designated as State Highway Spur 97. International Parkway is a de facto toll road, though the toll booths also handle parking fees for the airport.
