A major closure is happening on one of North Texas’ busiest highways

A major Dallas traffic closure is happening this weekend.

DALLAS — One of the busiest stretches of highway in North Texas will have major closures this weekend.

Eastbound Interstate 635 (LBJ Freeway) will have four out of its five main lanes closed continuously between Preston Road and Park Central Drive from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. A single left lane will remain open during the closure, and the TEXpress lanes in that stretch will be open and free to use, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.

Crews are closing the lanes for periodic resurfacing maintenance work, “ensuring a safe, smooth roadway for drivers,” Robert Hinkle, director of corporate affairs for LBJ Infrastructure Group, said in a press release. Crews will also be doing maintenance work on the Park Central Drive bridge.

Even with the TEXpress lanes open, officials warned drivers to expect significant delays this weekend.

Drivers can avoid the closure by entering the TEXpress lanes at Interstate 35E north and south, Webb Chapel Road and Preston Road.
