DALLAS — North Texans planning to get out and about this Memorial Day weekend need to be aware of a new exit ramp that is opening.
At 5 a.m. Saturday, the Texas Department of Transportation will open the new Interstate 35E southbound to Woodall Rogers Freeway exit ramp in the downtown Dallas area, weather permitting.
The exit ramp has been relocated a half-mile north of the current ramp, which will be closed when the new ramp opens, TxDOT officials said.
Drivers are advised to be prepared to take the new exit at Hi Line Drive to get to Woodall Rogers Freeway.
Last weekend, the permanent relocation of the I-35E northbound to Dallas North Tollway exit ramp took place.
TxDOT says the construction work is part of the $79 million Lowest Stemmons project to help traffic flow with the addition of new ramps adjacent to the existing highway.
