Interstate 635 Texas

Interstate 635, also known as the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (or LBJ for short) is arguably Dallas' most infamous interstate. Especially between Interstate 35E and U.S. 75, the highway is prone to backups at all hours of the day. Interstate 635 makes up a loop on the eastern and northern sides of Dallas, connecting Interstate 20 to Interstate 30, U.S. 75, Interstate 35E, and TX 121. The interstate is signed east-west between TX 121 and U.S. 75, and is signed north-south between Interstate 20 and U.S. 75.

Northbound/Westbound
	Interstate 635 North at Exit 11B - Northwest Highway/Shiloh Rd. Northwest Highway is a major thoroughfare through north Dallas. It begins at TX 114 and eventually winds its way to its other end at Belt Line Rd., five miles to the southeast. Parts of Spur 348, Loop 12, and Spur 244 make up the Northwest Highway. Shiloh Rd, on the other hand, is a north-south arterial through west Garland and east Plano. (Photo taken 3/16/05)
