The High Five Interchange in Dallas is one of the most architecturally striking freeway junctions in North America — a 5-level stack interchange at I-635 (LBJ Freeway) and US-75 (Central Expressway). Opened December 2005 at a cost of $261 million, the High Five replaced a 1960s cloverleaf interchange that had become severely congested. The interchange features 37 total lanes across 5 levels, with the highest ramp approximately 120 feet above ground. The name "High Five" references the 5-level design. The interchange connects the two busiest freeways in North Dallas: LBJ Freeway (I-635) — the east-west northern beltway — and Central Expressway (US-75) — the primary north-south corridor from downtown Dallas to Plano/Richardson. The interchange is adjacent to the LBJ Express Lanes (managed toll lanes on I-635). Per TxDOT and DriveTexas, High Five-area cameras cover all approaches.

Pro Tip: High Five + Dallas Commute Strategy

The High Five Interchange is central to North Dallas commuting. Strategies:

  • LBJ Express Lanes: toll-managed lanes on I-635 let you bypass the general lanes during peak. Pricing is dynamic — checking the posted rates tells you how congested the general lanes are.
  • US-75 HOV Lanes: carpoolers (2+) can use HOV lanes for discounted access.
  • Dallas Tollway alternative: Dallas North Tollway (DNT) parallels US-75 west — useful during US-75 incidents.
  • George Bush Turnpike alternative: GBT (PGBT, SR-190) parallels I-635 north — longer but less congested.
  • For DFW airport: use I-635 west + Exit 37B (SR-121 Airfreight) or continue to SR-114 International Parkway.

Per DriveTexas, real-time traffic conditions around the High Five change rapidly. A 20-second check of cameras before leaving the office can save 30+ minutes of sitting.
