Traffic will continue to be directed to the temporary bridge over I-635 as “final touches” are made to the near-completed traffic bridge. The construction is part of TxDot’s ongoing $1.74 billion 635 East Project, which includes a reconfiguration of the Skillman-Audelia-I-635 intersection and construction of the “signature” arch bridge and additional sound walls. 635 East will bring lane expansions and improvements on the highway from US 75 to I-30.
Across the length of east I-635, construction is set to last through 2025. No official date has yet been set for the opening of the Skillman Arch Street Bridge.
