It has been one year since the reconstruction of LBJ Freeway began amid last February’s winter storm. The 17-mile-long, $3.2 billion project has at least four more years to go. Listen to our podcast with the developers, addressing some the concerns last year.
We’ve seen the demolition or partial demolition of several of our bridges: Joe Ratcliff, Welch, Rosser, Marsh, Montfort and Hillcrest.
We noticed the loss of some trees along the corridor.
We worried that LBJ might become Dallas’ version of carmaggedon. We probably over-reacted a bit.
What’s next? Keeping the LBJ business community strong. The LBJ Express team has launched the LBJ Express Marketplace, which allows businesses to post deals and discounts to encourage people to keeping shopping along the corridor despite the inconvenience of construction.
To learn more about the Marketplace and the status of the LBJ Express project, see a presentation 10-10:45 a.m. Wednesday at the Westin Galleria.
