A news release from the DFW Connector Project revealed that ramps will close starting tonight for the I-635/SH 121 interchange project. This signals the major work on the interchange that will begin in the coming weeks.

The $370 million Texas Department of Transportation project includes rebuilding and widening SH 121 north of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to accommodate new interchanges for SH 121 at I-635 and FM 2499. The Bass Pro Drive bridge in Grapevine will also be widened to six lanes and reconstructed along with the frontage roads. The project is expected to be complete in 2022.
