LBJ Express - Managed Lanes Project
(Cities of Dallas, Garland, & Mesquite)
Last updated Spring 2012
Lead Agency:
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
Description:
LBJ Freeway was constructed in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with a design capacity of 160,000 vehicles per day (vpd). Today’s facility is carrying over 270,000 vpd between Preston Road and the Dallas North Tollway (DNT). The increase in traffic over the past three decades is a result of the unpredictable population and employment growth experienced in the North Texas Region.
LBJ Managed Toll Lanes: A key feature of the project is the inclusion of the Managed Toll Lanes which are lanes where traffic is kept moving at a faster, more reliable speed (50 mph) by adjusting the toll rate up and down as the number of vehicles increases or decreases respectively. Drivers can enter and exit the managed toll lanes at numerous points along the roadway and pay a toll to ensure a faster, more predictable trip time.
WEST SECTION - The NEW LBJ - CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN SPRING 2011
Cost: $2.7 billion
Funds: Most of the funding will be provided by the developer.
Schedule: Winter 2009 - contract award and project open house; Spring 2011- Construction begins; 2016 - Roadway opens
Description:The recommended locally preferred alternative for the West Section consists of 8 free general purpose lanes (four in each direction); continuous frontage roads two or three lanes wide throughout the entire length of the project; rebuilt bridges for streets crossing LBJ; and six new managed toll lanes (three in each direction).
The New LBJ is a private-public partnership. A private-sector developer will provide the majority of the funding for the project. That developer will then design, build, maintain and operate the roadway for 52 years.
This means:
- The roadway is finished faster, relieving congestion sooner, maximizing cost savings and minimizing the pollution impacts of construction.
- The risks associated with big construction ventures are shifted from the taxpayers to developers and investors.
- Public funds are conserved for other local transportation needs.
- The State of Texas retains ownership and oversight of the project.
- A portion of the excess revenue will be shared with the region and the project’s funding partners.
