New Ramps Reduce Some Congestion at SRT/DNT Interchange

Two new tolled ramps opened at the Sam Rayburn Tollway/Dallas North Tollway interchange in June, improving traffic flow in the busy area.

A new southbound exit ramp from the DNT to Legacy Drive now eases the commute for motorists trying to reach office parks and stores.

A new northbound entrance ramp to the DNT at Headquarters Drive, giving motorists direct access to the tollway from the businesses in the area, has also opened. As part of this ramp opening, an additional northbound DNT main lane will open across the DNT bridge over the SRT.

The new ramps are part of the SRT/DNT interchange, where eight direct-connecting bridges will join the two tollways and efficiently move traffic through the area. The five-level interchange is expected to be open to traffic in January 2012.

Crews recently reopened the southwest-bound SRT exit to Legacy Drive after an extended closure. The southwest-bound SRT exit to Parkwood Boulevard is closed through October 2011 while crews construct bridge support structures.

Crews continue setting concrete and steel bridge beams and continue to work on bridge decks for the new direct-connectors. Lane closures will continue on the DNT and SRT main lanes and frontage roads while crews use large cranes to hoist and set the large beams. The closures, scheduled during off-peak hours or during the weekends, are required to ensure the safety of motorists as well as NTTA contractors and staff.
