I agree; the High Five interchange is truly an engineering marvel; driving along I-635, in particular, allows drivers to get an excellent vantage point of just how spectacular of an interchange it really is. Besides the High Five, there's also a pretty cool mix of older and newer stack interchanges along the length of I-635. Overall, it's up there amongst my favorite urban freeways in the country.
I don't care if you're in L.A., Seattle, or Atlanta which I reside, Texas has the best thought out, planned, and executed highways in the U.S. This is coming from a Civil Engineer. Thanks for your videos.
I'm going to disagree with the boring comment, too. It's true that for the most part our freeways are not all dark and smooth and glistening and neat but they're anything but boring. We have pretty nice approaches to our business districts, our interchanges are the biggest in the world, and since they're so wide and heavily-trafficked they look awesome at night. And our rural freeways are, imo, more delightful than those in the Midwestm with rolling hills, forests, ranches, desertscape, etc.
Cool video. I'm from the Arlington area so I recognized most of what was shown. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this. (Perhaps one of Fort Worth could be made? )
wow i think i remeber in 2009 we went to dallas we got on southbound central expwy ramp to eastbound LBJ loop it wasent high like the other ramps but woow you got to be kidding its freaking awsome ps so like i told you on your facebook page so iits the LBJ toll which is gonna be the widest freeway in dallas not stemmons freeway
So I can't comment on your Austin video because RU-vid is telling me that it's "private" (even though I just saw it on your profile page). Just wanted to say, great job. Austin is my favorite city in the southern part of the country.
Fear not. I've been doing field work out on the artery system of the Horseshoe interchange Improvement Design Build Project downtown over a two month period this year. That area is going to change very soon. It's going rougher driving that stretch in the coming years with construction.
I think the tolls will only be specially designated lanes, not the whole freeway. it's supposed to be similar to the HOT lanes on 91 in Cali or the HOT lanes that are being constructed along the Virginia side of the Beltway
I highly doubt it. They're two engineering marvels on their own (the Autobahnen and the Texas Interstate Highway network), but one can't compare with the other. The Autobahnen are notoriously smooth and controlled to allow drivers to develop high speeds. Texas freeways are built to withstand (and optimize travel time for) more traffic than any other freeway network in the world, with concrete surfaces, lots of lanes, and high-capacity interchanges.
Yup you're also right, but I never been with my car in Toronto, and I finally whould say that your highways are generally bigger than here. For true, highways in Montréal are not pretty large for our size of 4 Million peoples... so, Welcome trafficjam...
Hold the hell up!!! You mean they are making LBJ a tollroad from Central Expressway to I-35E????? You gotta be kidding me!! that has to be the most traveled part of Dallas!
@@Tatura. Ok Thank You! They’re Willing To Completed in Late 2024 635 East Like I-635, I-30 and US-75 Including Freeway 🛣, HOV Express Lane, Frontage and More on Mesquite,TX, Garland,TX and Dallas,TX!
LBJ from 35 E to the High 5 looks like Beirut right now but things are starting to take shape and excavation begins this summer on the depressed hot lanes....at $2.7 Billion it should blow the Katy Freeway out of the water and take its crown......
