South End of the Tollway to Be Closed Part of Aug. 25 Weekend

On the Tollway, southbound motorists will have to exit at Northwest Highway or sooner. The southbound entrance ramps from Lovers Ln., Mockingbird Ln. and Lemmon Ave. will be closed. Southbound entrance ramps Forest Ln., Royal Ln., and Walnut Hill Ln. will also be closed due to the short distance before they have to exit.

During this closure, motorists should plan ahead, consider seeking alternate routes and expect delays. IH-35E and Central Expressway serve as viable alternatives to the Tollway.

This project is part of a $50 million renovation to the 40-year-old south end of the Tollway. It is one of several projects and major construction efforts being undertaken by the NTTA to improve mobility in north Texas. Other major projects include: The Phase 3 extension of the Tollway from SH 121 to U.S. 380 in Collin County, the Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge in Denton County, the eastern extension of the Bush Turnpike, Southwest Parkway in Tarrant County and the Trinity Parkway near Downtown Dallas.
