The ungrades to IH-635 is well underway. First came the High 5 at the center of the work. Next, came the western run from IH-35E to the High 5 and finally, now, the eastern upgrades are digging and plowing and a whole lots more from the end of the High 5 eastward to IH-20 . Needless-to-say, if you drive Dallas, this section has been a nightmare of delays and accidents and frustration for years. Since I don't drive anymore, I watch from the buses and trains and the pedestrian bridge that crosses at the Blue Line Station at Skillman and LBJ. As the kinks of Skillman are finally undone and a new bridge will lay straight across IH-635, I remember years ago driving that section and getting lost and wondering how I ended up where I did on unfamiliar territory. Of course, now, I kind of hate to see that rope knot laid out straight. Change happens!
