Opposite: The High Five Interchange, the first-ever confluence of five stacked highways, is a Dallas landmark.
Its height exceeds a 12-story building and its roadways include 37 permanent bridges and other unusual
design and construction features. One other feature is a natural gas transmission pipeline beneath the site.
To assure greater safety and reliability, our Mid-Tex Division is replacing a segment of the 20-inch pipeline
that crosses a creek and runs through a highly developed urban area.
