LBJ Express

Since its construction some 40 years ago, LBJ Freeway (I-635) has become one of themost congested and crowded roadways in the nation.

That is about to change.

Beginning in 2011, LBJ and a portion of I-35E will undergo a dramatic, 5-year transformation.

Here is what the new LBJ Express will mean for North Texas.

Traffic Relief — the LBJ Express will:

• Nearly double the capacity on LBJ Freeway
• Retain and rebuild same number of current freeway lanes
• Add up to six new express managed toll lanes on I-635 and four on I-35
• Accommodate future population growth for next three decades

Mobility Choices — the LBJ Express will:

• Enable drivers to select freeway lanes for short or non-urgent trips
• Guarantee fast 50 mph trip on LBJ Express managed toll lanes
• Deliver real-time traffic information to help drivers make smart decisions
• Empower drivers to get where they want, when they want

Community Commitment — the LBJ Express will:

• Expand 17 miles of congested roadway by 2016
• Boost the local economy with employment and contracting opportunities
• Minimize disruptions during construction
• Enhance business access with continuous frontage roads
• Cultivate open communication with neighbors and drivers
• Improve quality of life for families and businesses
