I drive out past Rockwall everyday for work. I know every back way to get out there.

That's actually one of the more straight forward ways to go.

Dude there's so many fricking roads here that yeah, some areas will be under construction. I live off 75, drive 635 and 30 everyday, and I don't drive through any construction. The tollway has work being done, but that's up in the suburbs. There's a lot of shite going on west of Dallas, but that's only been a couple years for a big project. 75 north of Plano was a few years, but that was a major widening project.

shite really doesn't last that long compared to the size of the projects.



I'm talking interstates alone. They are awful. I think the best road in Texas is 287 from I-40, SE all the way to I-10 I think. Can't remember where it terminates. They only took a couple years and the whole thing was re-done. Yet Dallas spends over a decade on just the major interstate segments around the city.

Dallas gets my vote for dumbest and most inefficient city in Texas. Austin is still by far the worst, so don't be like S and get your panties in a bunch.

Were inefficient because of the handful of times you drove through here?

20 and 635 have no major work that I know of. 30 has some work going in Arlington. 35E still has some work, but they just added a fricking express lane from Dallas to Denton. Not exactly a small project. I never drive 35W so I don't know.

Bush is widening at my exit to the DNT.

DNT is finished widening from the PGBT to 635. DNT north to SRT is a small nightmare but they are literally having to build new ramps.

114's toll lane is now active to DFW Int.

I am not sure what he's upset about.

35E is a small nightmare coming into the PGBT and south to 635.

No it doesn't. Closest it comes to Tyler is Palestine. It goes to Port Arthur.

You just aren't very efficient are you?


And I bet I've been through DFW the same or more. It was basically the only connection for SHV
