TEXpress Lanes are tolled express lanes located in the medians of several major highways throughout North Texas. TEXpress Lanes, also known as managed lanes, provide much-needed congestion relief on the roadways and offer drivers more choices in their daily commutes to suit their travel needs. Drivers can choose to use the adjacent general highway lanes for free or pay for predictable travel speeds on the TEXpress Lanes.
TEXpress Lanes will form a continuous system around the area. As of 2018, eight TEXpress Lanes projects are currently in operation.
In addition, the 635 East HOV/Express Lanes on I-635 from US 75 to I-30 are a form of TEXpress Lanes. Construction to transform the 635 East HOV/Express Lanes into the I-635 East TEXpress Lanes began April 27, 2020 and will be closed until late 2024. At that time, they will re-open as Managed Toll (TEXpress) Lanes.
The TEXpress Lanes are available to all types of drivers, with and without toll tags. HOV users such as carpool drivers, most vanpool drivers and motorcyclists are eligible for a discount during peak travel times on the weekdays.
