Relating to the prohibition of lane restrictions on a portion of Interstate Highway 635.
SB 720 prohibits the Texas Department of Transportation from imposing lane restrictions, including tolls or special toll lanes, on a specific segment of Interstate Highway 635. The ban applies directly to the portion of I-635 between its intersections with Interstate Highway 30 and U.S. Highway 75. This bill amends the Texas Transportation Code to explicitly prevent the department or any partner entity from charging tolls or implementing managed lanes on this corridor. The policy change would maintain this section as a standard, non-tolled highway for all drivers.
