The LBJ Freeway reconstruction project that began at Luna Road has reached our neighborhoods, affecting our daily commute. The Hillcrest bridge is coming down, and the visionary project is becoming more of a reality.

The next big thing: the 635 and Dallas North Tollway interchange. It’s so big, that the LBJ Express team is holding a public meeting, anticipating a large amount of input from neighbors on the freeway connection that has always been a headache.

The meeting is scheduled for 5-8 p.m. Aug. 16 at Sheraton Dallas North.

The meeting involves the Federal Highway Administration and TxDOT and will present design concepts and solicit feedback from residents and businesses along the LBJ Express Corridor. It’s an open house format, with no formal presentations. Neighbors can expect to see maps, videos, renderings and other project information on display. The public is encouraged to submit written comments.
