1 Closures continue on I-635 construction project The eastbound I-635 ramp entrance from Skillman Street is expected to remain closed until August as part of the $1.74 billion I-635 East project, Texas Depart- ment of Transportation officials said. The closest detour to access eastbound I-635 is at the Royal Lane and Miller Road on- ramp. In addition, the westbound I-635 ramp exit at Skillman Street, Exit 16, was permanently combined with a farther exit at Royal Lane and Miller Road. The effort is part of a project that is designed to improve what TxDOT officials call one of the most congested areas in the state and spans from US 75 to just south of I-30. Other construction includes building a fifth lane in each direction of I-635E, reconstructing the existing managed toll lanes and adding frontage roads in each direction, accord- ing to officials. Also part of the project is a revamp of the Skillman Street inter- change by building an arched bridge over the roadway. Construction is expected to last into 2024.
