The eastbound I-635 ramp entrance from Skillman Street is expected to remain closed until August 2023, TxDOT 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 further exit at Royal Lane and Miller Road.<\/p>\n<p>The project 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-35. 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, according to officials. Also part of the project is a revamp of the Skillman Street interchange by building an arched bridge. Construction is expected to last into 2024.
