Now that I watch this video again after i've been here, I-35 in certainly something to avoid. Glad I live nowhere NEAR it. I love that song, by the way. I might use it on a video sometime.
@FreewayBrent As brutal as it is, it's a very cool drive, with the double-decker and numerous interchanges along the way-- not to mention the good downtown and UT Campus views.
@FreewayBrent One other thing you may want to do when you re-film is start up at 45 Toll and not go so far south. I would go down to Stassney at the most. :) That'd be great to swing through Austin.
nice video this is the route I take home from work every day I enter I35 south bound at us 290 and exit on wm cannon, one exit before slaughter. The flyover ramps at the 71/290 exchange are now under construction to be completed soon I hope
@chiquiona: Catchy song, huh? :-) The song is by Ida Corr & Fedde Le Grand, and the title is "Let Me Think About It" (Club Mix). I also list the song artist and title at the end of every video, for your convenience. Thanks for watching!
official txdot information release info .. us-290 east of austin will now be transformed into a major tollroad featuring about a 12-14 lanes of traffic .. so the interchange at the beginning of this video will be rebuilt im sure
Absolutely great video. The part of I-35 inbetween 1:55 and 2:35 reminds me of the old secftion of I-90/94(Kennedy Expressway) in Chicago, where there used to be exit ramps on each block it passed under. IDOT smartly modified 90/94 5(?, or more) years ago, so that now there only are exit and entrance ramps every 2 blocks. Although, it still has the problem of short spaces to merge on the entrance ramps.
I-35 has many good interchanges with other expressways, probably US-290 is my favorite.
Hey Chris. Would you mind providing me a link to your source? My official 2007 TxDOT traffic count map indicates the busiest stretch in Dallas at 239,000 AADT for I-35E in Dallas.
on I-35 you have to drive 55 for about a 4.7 mile stretch from just south of Riverside Blvd. to just south of the 51st St. overpass.
(mile 233.3-237.95) speed limit 55 4.65mi 50th St-Riv. Blvd.

lol, I have nooo idea. I'll ask my buddy, who lives in town, if he knows, when he flies back from Sacramento tomorrow night.
Up next; I-35 in the North Austin metro region. It's already on YouTube; I just need to annotations, before I make it public.

Nice work, the US-290 interchange at 3:20 truly is impressive.
