Reply #6: That's the ticket [View All]

Once TxDOT pulls their head out of their ass and does that, no problem. Should happen by noon, but if it doesn't, I'm heading out anyway (to Dallas via Hempstead Hwy -- not 290 -- and Hwy 6 to College Station and Waco (just as we went to Crawford) and I-35e, northward, to Big D.

Y'all could do this and then go south on I-35, which would likely be clear sailing.

In any event, consider a circuitous route to your final destination. It's better than running out of gas or overheating on a blocked freeway.
