DAMN!
I'll be glad when these guys stop *icking around with 75 and 635. I've been here 10 years, and those roads have been under some form of construction the entire time...
What's amazing to me about 635 is that it used to be the "outer loop" around the DFW area. Since it was put in, the DFW area, and surrounding suburbs have grown so much, 635 is now a "middle loop" and the George Bush Turnpike is the outer loop.
The way Allen, Plano, Frisco, Prosper, Denton & McKinney are growing, they need to make 380 into a serious highway. Especially Frisco. Sheesh! There's no light-traffic way to get into that SOB; unless you have access to a helicopter. Growing too fast for the roads to handle the onslaught of traffic.

Oh yeah its great down here when it ices over. I was driving home last night (on the access road) doin 'bout 25 in my Fusion. It was great watching every one else up on the interstate doing about 70 and drafting on the ice! I swear it looked like the last lap of the Daytona 500! I kept hoping for the "big one"
