message: Weren't there plans to tunnel I-635 underneath the High Five for about a quarter mile?  I recall stumbling across some plans for such a thing at TxDOT back in 2000 or 2001. -Rolypolyman 06:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The Cottonwood Trail was built as a part of the High Five, it runs under 75 and 635.  I am not Wiki savvy so I have no idea how to incorporate this into the article.  Here is a data sheet from the city of Dallas http://www.dallasparks.org/Downloads/Trails/cottonwood.pdf  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.233.178.254 (talk) 17:14, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph of the lead section repeats too much of the first paragraph from the Description section. A Good Article's lead should summarize the rest of the article, not repeat it. Folklore1 (talk) 16:41, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Not a problem. I don't think that we have an interchange article that is a GA yet, so the "standard" of what one looks like is still a bit fluid. But feel free to ask at WT:USRD if you have any questions or need input. --Rschen7754 22:18, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Description 

message: the 1st sentence gave a wrong impression saying it is 'the 1st built ever'... . i have changed it to a proper language. it is the '1st of dallas', and should be stated such.
if anyone disagrees, please discuss here before consensus is made.HasperHunter (talk) 15:33, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The word "of" is awkward here... this isn't an interchange of Dallas, it's an interchange in Dallas. The language before was the right preposition, and it didn't state "first ever", it stated "first built in Dallas". Sorry, the proposed change is grammatically and semantically incorrect.

message: What is the current traffic volume? The stat given of 500,000 vehicles a day for the old interchange over 10 years ago is already pretty astounding. It must have been quite a large and complex interchange itself. Surely traffic is significantly higher now. For instance, a similarly sized interchange that was just completed in Miami-Dade Florida is quoted as 430,000 now, about or "over" 400,000 previously. Congestion was and is high through the interchange still, but that is a lot due to congestion on the to major expressways it junctions, despite also having up to 14 lanes, costing twice as much, having 45 bridges, and being four or five levels.

replies: text: ^ Miami is in fact currently 'double decking' one of it's highways as a rebuild of the historic Midtown Interchange on the north side of Downtown Miami, where I-95 meets the Dolphin Expressway and the MacArthur Causeway and soon to be Signature Bridge (Miami) over land spanning the highway over US1.

thread_title:  Traffic volume today 

message: So the 635 has 14 regular highway lanes (10 "normal" and 4 express lanes), which is a lot but not extraordinary for a large suburban metro.But then the 75 and 635 have six lane frontage roads, all four directions (NSWE) having three through lanes. So counting the frontage lanes, since they are integral to Texas highway design, the 635 is a 20-lane freeway. That's record pushing for the US at least. LA is littered with freeways, but they are not quite that wide, up to 14 or 16 lanes, but all freeway no frontage counted. NYC and older metros have worse congestion and stats that would call for 20 lanes plus, but they are more urban and would have to use a vertically raised tarmac over the existing ones, which is often alluded to but never really done. South Florida/Miami area, the "forgotten metro" in terms of recognition of size and growth, is also pushing the boundaries of all their highways, with several up to 12 lanes and a max of 14 if counted dubiously, but with new express lane and Turnpike widening currently underway, could see a push to 16 or more. DFW and Houston have awful traffic and long commutes. They are worse than Miami as far as being physically larger, more spread out and suburban metros, but are actually no bigger in terms of population (all three are about six million). That may be a bit surprising, almost anybody would say DFW and Houston are "much larger" than Miami. Can't think of any other place that would have more than a 12-lane highway.
