From Wikipedia:
Interstate 35W (I-35W[a]), an Interstate Highway, is the western half of I-35 where it splits to serve the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. I-35 splits into two branch routes, I-35W and I-35E, at Hillsboro. I-35W runs north for 85.2 miles (137.1 km), carrying its own separate sequence of exit numbers. It runs through Fort Worth before rejoining with I-35E to reform I-35 in Denton. It is the more direct route for long-distance expressway traffic, as is noted on signs on I-35 leading into the I-35W/I-35E splits. During the 1970s, billboards existed on I-35 encouraging travelers to take the faster and shorter I-35W route.
During the early years of the Interstate Highway System, branching Interstates with directional suffixes, such as N, S, E, and W, were common nationwide. On every other Interstate nationwide, these directional suffixes have been phased out by redesignating the suffixed route numbers with a loop or spur route number designation (such as I-270 in Maryland, which was once I-70S) or, in some cases, were assigned a different route number (such as I-76, which was once I-80S). In the case of I-35 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, since neither branch is clearly the main route and both branches return to a unified Interstate beyond the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, officials at the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) have allowed the suffixes of E and W in Texas to remain in the present day. I-35 also splits into I-35E and I-35W in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota, for similar reasons as the I-35 split in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

7:45 I've always been amused by this ridiculously tall foot bridge. I always imagine a scene in a film taking place up there.
Nice ride along interstate 35W through Fort Worth TX
Hola.Saludos desde Fort Worth, Texas hasta mi bello Fort Worth y todo el hermoso estado de Texas...
Nice ride. You should do Dallas to Fort Worth, and or Vice versa
See the I-30 West thru Dallas-Fort Worth vid for more details.
Been waiting for this one from you. Mike! Thanks for the ride.
👍
Nice ride on I 35W
Nice ride
1)It’s kinda shocking how rural I-35W is north of Ft Worth compared to I-35E northwest of Dallas.
2)Exit 469 right after I-35E and I-35W merge back together in Denton. Traffic always back up there. It was like that in your I-35E video. Can someone explain why there’s a lot of traffic at that exit 469.
Most likely dated or the fact that demand has long finally caught up, not all rural freeways will be free flowing from city to city. Often looking at I-5 here in NorCal, and especially SoCal. it backs up on Cajon Pass and into L.A, and you’d get the trucks north of Grapevine that hogs up the fast lane because of the great amount of trucks going into San Francisco or Stockton. Especially 99 that’s always busy, my dad got to experience the ride on 99 free flowing, but with the ever expanding development and cities expanding, demand is ever clogging the freeways here in Sacramento and Dixon, not to mention 99 travels through some of the busiest metropolitan areas south of Sacramento. Meanwhile with 80, Dixon and the Yolo Causeway is always screwy since it narrows down to 6 lanes per direction, and lastly, Sacramento has some of the most dated freeways since, sure they were built in the 70s as stacks, but the tight configurations of the stands here in Sac, especially the one by the river is tight, combined with the 99 gap, and the fact I-80 was never modernized to Downtown as they were supposed to in the 70s, traffic here in Sacramento, while at times some parts are free flowing, Sacramento believe it or not, is much more busiest in terms of its freeway network than Boston.
@@ToiletsInNorCal2024 I knew CA 99 go through pretty much all of the population centers between Sacramento and Los Angeles. But I didn’t know it was congested like that.

Either way, some of the interchanges along SR-99 are dated, including a ton of them in Sacramento, including the US-50/I-305/SR-16/SR-51/BIZ-80 interchange are all dated, being built from the 60s to 70s on either end.
Exit 469 is University Blvd/US-380. It's the only East/West artery through Denton, and link to Decatur and McKinney. Over the last 6 years, there's been a major development of shopping and restaurants in this section of town, so the growth has outpaced the roads. Even with improvements of lengthening the left and right turn lanes at the intersection, the service road is still just two lanes wide, and that causes an almost constant backup onto the interstate.
@@rsh300 Oh ok. Thanks for the info.
20:01 I did not realize that Wreaths Across America was on the side of a truck.
I drive through here a lot 31:14
I guess they really wanted drivers to use the toll lanes since they didn't widen 35W north of downtown.
I didn’t notice that I-35 has it separate Freeways
Yeah it splits in Hillsboro, 35E goes to Dallas, 35W goes to Fort Worth
@@Zach27727And it does so again in the Twin Cities. I-35W thru Minneapolis and I-35E thru St. Paul.
Can you do a drive through Valley Ranch and Las Colinas?
Yeah I’ll probably check them out.
