The station was opened on July 1, 2002 as part of the Red Line's third expansion, which expanded the line from Park Lane to Galatyn Park.[2] It is named for the intersection of Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (Interstate 635) and North Central Expressway (U.S. Route 75), which it is adjacent to.

The station is located between the two Dallas campuses of Texas Instruments, both of which it services via employee shuttles.[3] It also services Dallas College Richland Campus via bus.

In tribute to TI, the station's façade is decorated with circuit boards. The station's canopy is decorated with translucent panels honoring local organizations and individuals.[4]
