Winter Weather in North Texas

In communication and coordination with TxDOT and our roadway maintenance crews, all DFW managed lanes are closed, beginning at 1 p.m. on Friday, January 23. Variable speed limit signs on I-35W will also be activated during that time.

We will continue to monitor weather conditions as the winter storm moves through North Texas, and implement our winter maintenance operations toward safely re-opening the roadways.

If your car breaks down or you get a flat tire, the following things can keep you safe until help arrives:

• 24/7 TEXpress Lanes assistance: Dial #789
• Blanket
• Warm clothing
• Food and water
• Flashlight
• Cell phone charger
• First aid kit
• Traction aids (like sand, salt, non-clumping cat litter or traction mats)
• Stay in your vehicle!

If the roads are icy or wet, remember the following when you’re driving – and only drive if you have to!

• Make sure tires are properly inflated and have plenty of tread before leaving.
• Keep at least half a tank of fuel in your vehicle at all times.
• Don’t warm up your vehicle in an enclosed space, like a garage.
• Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface, like ice or snow.
• Drive slowly and accelerate and decelerate slowly.
• Don’t power up hills or stop going up a hill.
