Why didn't Dallas get a full Interstate beltway in the 1956 federal aid highway act, or at any later time?

The other Texas major cities did, and the 1950 population was 434 thousand in the city and 855 thousand metro.  Definitely in full beltway range.

Today the city itself has almost 2 million.

I-820 wasn't complete in the original plans either.

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

It -has- been for over 30 years, for a smaller city than Dallas.
