DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Icy weather conditions in North Texas have closed businesses, schools and now entire roadways. Officials with the Department of Transportation TEXpress Lanes System are shutting down all of the roadways.
On February 23 all managed lanes on the LBJ Express, the North Tarrant Express, and NTE 35W are being closed due to the winter weather and icy conditions.
There was no specific time given but say the closures are scheduled to be completed by the afternoon.
Express lanes will be shut down across DFW for the evening commute.
Same thing was done during the winter storm earlier this month, and last year after the pileup on I35W in Fort Worth https://t.co/o9VmgzPGzG
