This just appeared on Google Maps Satellite, didn't know it was going on.

They've been working on rebuilding the frontage rods and moving some of the entrance/exit ramps for over a year.  I'm hoping this part will get rid of that bastardized cloverleaf and put in a regular diamond.

The loop ramps were taken out as of August 2012. The I-35/US 82 interchange is a regular diamond w/frontage roads now.

The California Street interchange was under construction but mostly completed when I was through there back in June 2012.  The frontage roads (at least southbound) was, IMO, even wider than it needs to be.

Obviously, these two button copy relics will be no more as a result.

Unfortunately, those signs have been gone since at least 2010.
