    The project is being almost completed and this is how it's going to be from now on, for those who enjoy the world-famous Dallas drivers' generous courtesy and perfect roads. The text is below for those who don't want to hit the web.

    It has some map-photos and a video to show what's being finalized.

    The changes, part of the Dallas Horseshoe Project, will primarily affect connections from westbound I-30 to Interstate 35E.

    Starting at 10 p.m. Friday, crews will shut down the westbound Interstate 30 exits to both northbound and southbound I-35E, and they will remain closed through the night.

    Traffic will be detoured onto Woodall Rodgers Freeway during these closures.

    After the alignment, drivers traveling from westbound I-30 to southbound I-35E will take Exit 46A and stay in the left two lanes along the frontage road. Traffic headed north on I-35E will stay in the center lanes.

    The ramp that used to connect westbound Interstate 30 to southbound I-35E will now serve as the off-ramp from I-30 to Colorado Boulevard. Drivers exiting I-30 for Colorado Boulevard will now take Exit 46A and stay in the right two lanes along the frontage road.

    And about the time everybody learns the new layout [in a few years] then they'll want to do another bout of construction and changes to make it more "Mexican immigrant friendly" (narrower, more pot holes, less lighting, stop signs added, etc)
