Eastbound & Westbound LBJ will be reduced from 4 lanes to 3 lanes over the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) between Montfort and Welch beginning this Friday and the LBJ-DNT exit ramps traffic will be shifted to new temporary ramps. The reduction in lanes are necessary in order to begin construction of the LBJ Express over the DNT (scheduled to begin Labor Day weekend). The duration of this closure is scheduled to last through 2013.

- Eastbound LBJ to Northbound DNT @ 10pm
- Eastbound LBJ to Southbound DNT @ 10pm
Westbound LBJ will be reduced to 3 lanes beginning 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning. Prep work for this reduction is listed below:
9:00 p.m. Friday, August 24th to 10:00 a.m. Saturday, August 25th:

I have decided not to even try driving on LBJ for a couple years.
I thought one of the requirements was they had to keep 4 lanes open the whole time. This is complete crap! You are choking N Dallas to death.
By having 4 lanes along 635, the loop ramps merging into IH 635 from the DNT will not have any weaving area which is doesn’t comply with AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials). If we did not reduce the lanes, we would have been creating a STOP condition which would back traffic along the loop onto the DNT creating a very unsafe situation.
