After the completion of this work, drivers taking the TI Boulevard entrance ramp will access the eastbound LBJ TEXpress and must continue onto the I-635 East HOV/Express Lanes that TxDOT manages.
Drivers wishing to access the free eastbound general highway lanes on I-635, must continue onto I-635 East HOV/Express Lanes and take the first available exit ramp onto eastbound I-635.
The work being done in this area will decrease traffic congestion, and drivers can expect increased mobility.

This work is part of the $2.6 billion LBJ Express project, which began in 2011 and was completed in September 2015, included the reconstruction of expanded frontage lanes and main lanes, as well as the addition of bypass lanes and TEXpress managed lanes along IH 635 between Luna Rd. and Greenville Ave. and IH 35E between Loop 12 and Valley View Ln. in Dallas. This expansive reconstruction project is successfully alleviating traffic congestion along one of the busiest highway corridors in the state, with as many as 250,000 cars traveling the stretch daily.
