I work on the North side of Fort Worth, near Texas Motor Speedway, and live South East of there.
Its about a 35 mile commute but I make most of it on surface streets instead of using 35.
I doubt even after the work is done that it'll be a good route.
I almost took a job up there about 3 years ago near the speedway. After going in for the job interview at 11am it didn't seem like traffic was all that bad. But the owner suggested that I come up there for a couple of days to see if I really liked it. After a 2-hour drive home I could see what he was getting at.
That was 3 years ago and they're on phase 3 of the same project today. seems like they're never going to be done and what they have done now will have to be expanded upon again in 10 years, so they'll be done in 5 years and then will have to start over again by 2025 maybe and that will take them until 2035 to complete.
NOW ... Grapevine and 121 and 114 are dreams. Good job to the folks who worked on that. It was a nightmare for about 5 years but those roads up there are great to drive on now. They really don't ever get super clogged up except for the worst of rush-hour and they're crystal clear to know where you're going and how to get there. Well marked exits, etc.
