The HOV/Express managed toll lanes between Oates Drive and TI Boulevard also remain closed until the project is completed. The rebuilt tolled managed lanes will have shoulders and be separated from the main lanes by concrete barriers. A new traffic pattern for both directions of Skillman Street at I-635 took effect recently. Pay attention to signage designating new lane configurations.
