Stop and go traffic can get backed up for one to two hours at a time. We need to smooth out the flow of traffic by replacing the existing interchange. TxDOT is constructing a 5-level, fully directional interchange with continuous frontage roads.
Vehicles have to slow down dramatically when they re turning around the loop ramps.
This backs up ramp traffic onto U.S. 75, clogging up U.S. 75 s main lanes. We need to improve traffic flow through the loop ramps. We can do this by replacing the loop ramps with direct connection ramps. However, in the interchange itself, U.S. 75 is still just two lanes. This causes an even worse bottleneck through the interchange.
