Isn't TxDOT remodeling the whole 35 corridor from 51st to Rundberg or so? I'm pretty sure I've seen the plans for it (on here actually), and they're lengthening that ramp so it's less steep and doesn't involve weaving with all the traffic entering from 290. Because it's merging onto the raised portion of 183, which has tight constraints as it is, making the flyover two lanes is going to cause a merge at some point. That's likely to cause more traffic issues than the second lane solves.

I always hated that flyover. VAF84 covered why it needed to be addressed. When they built it along with the raised portion of 183 in the 90s, I don't think TxDOT had any intention of touching 35, certainly not as far south as is needed to make that flyover less steep. Sometimes new-ish stuff comes out in a remodel.
