"X-Ramp Design" -- Multi-Lane Highway Expansion Northwest Of DFW -- August 22, 2024

Locator: 48488X.

This is of local interest due to proposed new highway construction on a multi-lane highway from DFW headed west to Trophy Club, north of Ft Worth. 

The "geographic" population center of the Dallas - Ft Worth metroplex is currently north of Dallas -- Plano, TX, and north, along I-35E, straight to the Oklahoma casinos.

By 2050, it is projected that the "geographic" population center of the DFW metroplex will be much farther west: northwest of Ft Worth -- where the Texas Motor Speedway and a Buc-ee's are located. And I-35W taking DFW to Oklahoma City and to points farther north.

The proposal: add another lane of traffic in each direction on the 8-mile stretch of SH 114 between Grapevine, TX, -- where we live -- and Trophy Club, one of the most interesting planned cities in the area.

In that article, "X-ramp design" was mentioned.

From this site

"Speeders" like the "octagon" or "diamond" ramp design.

The "X-ramp design" eliminates that option for fast drivers.
