TRAFFIC ALERT: Long-term closure of I-30 HOV lanes near I-635, June 29

DALLAS – As part of the 635 East Project construction, the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes between Jim Miller Road and Northwest Drive will close Monday morning, June 29 until the end of the project in late 2024. At that time, they will re-open as they are – reversible non-tolled HOV lanes. I-30 HOV lanes between Jim Miller Road and downtown Dallas will remain open and operate on current schedules.

Closures of the following HOV access points within the corridor will include:
• The eastbound I-30 HOV entrance at Jim Miller Road
• The westbound I-30 HOV entrance at Northwest Drive

Eastbound drivers on the I-30 HOV lanes will be required to exit at Jim Miller Road. Westbound drivers that want to use the I-30 HOV lanes must now use the entrance at Jim Miller Road.

The public can stay informed on construction progress, lane closures and traffic changes by signing up for text alerts by sending the message “635 East” to 31996.
