Construction on a new bridge will force the closure of several connector ramps between SH-121 and 635-LBJ this weekend. The work is part of the DFW Connector project.

"We are opening the second new bridge on the 635 SH-121 interchange project. It's the new south-bound SH-121 bridge to 635," said Alyssa Tenorio with NorthGate Constructors. There are a total of three bridges planned for the area. "This project started last year. It's expected to be complete in 2022," said Tenorio.
