Ramps and Frontage Roads
Along the eastern side of LBJ-635, drivers will notice that we have begun the frontage road and ramp-work along the eastbound side between Webb Chapel and Marsh Lane. There is some extensive drainage work being performed as well to ensure that the project will meet the stringent guidelines related to water run-off.
