That's if you can stay on that stretch of road. That patch is worse than any Louisiana hwy. Bout lost it couple times rolling through that God forbidden pot-holed broken up and down Hwy pulling weight. Even worse on a bike headed out to Double D's.
Used to be. There’s still a stretch heading west that’s rough.
With a few exceptions, those stretches of “bad Interstate” are now gone in the US from IH35 to IH95. In some cases, complete replacement. In others, remediation.
Some engineering and organizational know-how got applied. Machinery, procedures, etc. Its impressive the speed and efficient traffic-management while underway.
Granted that it should have been done thirty years ago. Done, not started. The other puzzle piece is three traffic lanes (and separation of entry/exit lanes at a cloverleaf). With three, everyone can move along well. Get around problems. Re-building Bridges is the weak point.
Rural stretches of Interstate that catapulted me from the seat just a few years ago on IH40 in the Panhandle, or IH55 near the New Madrid fault are now nearly unnoticeable.
Where three travel lanes exist with proper shoulders, etc, traffic flow is what one expects from Interstate travel. KY is closer to having the whole of the state done. IH75 from ATL to Tampa, etc.
IH35 from Santone to DFW may now be three lanes, but using the 130 Toll Road still a requirement from Seguin to Georgetown. Even it is starting to jam at the northern end.
A Tollpass is your friend. Any of the Texas cities.
