Thank you, we also use the Texpress lanes through Fort Worth. Sounds like we should be ok heading down. Every route I plugged in was still longer by 60+ minutes even with the red showing in the Denton area. We will grin and bear it. It seems when we cross the state line into Texas Terry is always driving as we switch off every 2 hours. That’s a good thing as I get impatient, she is so calm In stopped or slowed traffic.Today there were some issues, although I do not know the specifics. As I traveled under, I noted traffic in the northbound direction moving slowly. Southbound looked OK. Normally on the Texas side, they keep two lanes open at all times. There is nothing permanently closed. They are working on some bridges in Gainesville and Sanger, but all of the work is off the highway. However there is frequently a "moving work detail" that is working at various places in Denton County, between Valley View and Denton itself. They pull over between 11:30 and 1:00 for lunch and everything is open.
That is all that I know at the present time.
IH35W on the north side of Ft Worth near the Texas Motor Speedway has major construction, but whenever I go through, I use the "Texpress" lane and pay the toll.
I’ll wave as we go by Sanger…
