    I don't know who built it, but it sucks like a muthu! I've seen some people catch air and then slow down to a crawl after getting scared shitless thinking they were going to crash. Someone needs to stand up there with a GoPro and video that shit...

      Either way i am sure NTTA managed construction of it along with the rest of the road. If Irving owns it then even better, go after them both. I wonder how many other incidents have occured in that area?

        I've seen some scary shit I know where the road is fucked up since I have to use it to go to my FIL's house in S. Arlington. It sucks, but once I get past that bullshit heading south, I can hit triple digit speeds between 183 and I-30*...

          I know that when I moved here in 2000 I lived at Northgate and 161, and worked on 635 and Freeport Parkway, so I drove it daily (161, exit Beltline, Beltline to 114). When I moved here they had not yet began construction on the toll road (they started shortly after), and that piece was already there. There are also no tolls on that section. Based on that, I find it reasonable to assume that little piece was not built by the NTTA.

          BTW, that section of Beltline (from 161/GWB to 114) has to be the literal worst road I have driven on in the US. Well, at least it was when I drove it daily.

            Thats a bold statement coming from you, since you have driven a lot of the US roads. Not Eric epic, but impressive nonetheless...

              So, is this going to set precedent for anybody involved in a wreck on a "private" tollway? The person at fault in the wreck is going to have to pay not only for damages, but lost revenue as well?

                  The shittiest roads imo are in Oklahoma, where they build roads like legos, and you feel like you're driving across a Roman aqueduct.

                                The reason why is because Las Colinas used to be a swamp. Many buildings in that area have settlement issues. The south end of the shopping center at the SW corner of 635 and McArthur sank a couple of inches one summer. Also the Lifetime fitness at the SW corner of MacRthur and 114 had to have foundaion repairs three times, for a while the front doors could barely be opened.
