The High Five Interchange is a large freeway interchange that connects LBJ Freeway (Interstate 635) and Central Expressway (US 75) in north Dallas, Texas (USA). The High Five is the first five-level stack interchange in Dallas.[1]

[edit] Scope

The interchange comprises 37 bridges distributed across 5 levels (thus the name "High Five") and its highest ramps are 120 feet (37 m) above ground.[2] The High Five consists of nearly 60 lane-miles of new roadway and stretches 2.4 miles (3.9 km) north/south and 3.4 miles (5.5 km) east/west.[1] This US$261 million[3] project started in 2002 and was completed in December 2005.[3]

[edit] Awards

In 2006, the American Public Works Association named the High Five "a Public Works Project of the Year".[1]
