Longtime North Texas residents may remember the gridlock traffic caused by construction at the I-30 and State Highway 360 Interchange in Arlington.
It’s the stretch of highway between Grand Prairie and Arlington’s entertainment district, which includes Six Flags and the Cowboys Stadium.
It should be a smoother drive now that the Texas Department of Transportation announced the last two of the eight on-ramps in the interchange opened Thursday.
"The project is now substantially complete, and construction on smaller items will continue through early next year," said TXDoT officials in a statement.
Officials said what was once a cloverleaf design built in the 1950s is now a modern four-way interchange with connection ramps for all directions.
"These improvements will increase safety, connectivity and mobility for motorists," they said.
TXDoT said drivers should remain alert for remaining construction sites.
