New Freeway Spur 601 Breaks Ground

I cant wait to visit El Paso someday.

What is your question about Loop 375?

Regarding your last inquiry, I was simply making a comment about the proposed 601/375 interchange, not asking a question. My comment was simply that I didn't understand the logic behind TXDOT not using direct-connect flyover ramps. They are, instead, using intersections with traffic signals and turn lanes, as if the freeway suddenly became a boulevard at Spur 601's east end. In addition, the MPO website won't allow me to enlarge anything after clicking the picture twice. The exchange at U.S. 54 appears to look good.

You said you had a question about Loop 375.
I was just trying to explain that the freeway is elevated, um! try clicking once, just a click will do it, I dont know why I said two, we'll all probably have to wait till the freeway is completed to see what it will really look like.
