Construction on one of the region’s most connected commuter corridors is nearing the finish line. North Texas drivers traveling on U.S. Highway 75 from Interstate 635 to State Highway 121 will soon have another lane available. The Texas Department of Transportation said the $58 million project is 99% complete and on track to finish this fall, with only a few final touches remaining. Here’s what’s been done and what remains for the highway. What changes have been made to U.S. 75? The project began in 2024 and stretches from I-635, or Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway,in Dallas County to SH 121, or Sam Rayburn Tollway, in Collin County. Prior to construction, only high-occupancy vehicles and motorcycles were allowed to use the inside lane of the highway. This meant much of the road could not be used by drivers traveling alone, according to TxDOT. The department wanted to make the existing lane available to more motorists for most of the day, while reserving it for certain vehicles during the busiest periods.
