https://www.smwrightproject.com/intersection-renderings shows that all the bridges are being removed, so the only point that's absolutely necessary is PenAve to match I-45 (although MLK is getting new ramps to/from I-45 to the north and better access to/from the south, so maybe 283B on I-45 should be moved there). A new northbound exit to Lipscomb Way (also 283B, yuck) and southbound entrance from 310 south of Lipscomb Way are also under construction.

I'm not sure what to do with the north end of 310. The plan is to feed directly into Chavez, apparently without any access to Good-Latimer, and I don't see any planned I-45 ramps other than those mentioned above. So maybe it'll end at MLK or Lipscomb when all is done.


There's also a missing interchange at BuddSt.

This has been on my radar. Going to hold off on making any some changes until construction and signage come into clearer focus.

I foresee putting them where US175 had them before for the benefit of those who traveled there back in the US175 days.

🤮 Right now I'm thinking, probably go 1PPI and put a point halfway between Lipscomb & MLK, and that should be close enough for those who used the old US175 exit.
Existing 283B is probably where it is for historical reasons.
Southbound, SM Wright always appears to have been 283B at least while GMSV has existed. The plain "283" labeling may have been just a convenient early-CHM fudge to get unique labels.

Right now, 283B is not in use.
Makes sense to strike while the iron is hot, and give that point the axe. Those who used the historical exit (to/from the S only) would have exited/merged at just about exactly Lamar, so they can go ahead & use 283A in their .lists if need be.
The *283B label can move to SM Wright where it (for now) belongs, with +283 as an alt. The exit does appear to be closed for construction, so it gets an asterisk.

Once construction is complete (or has progressed sufficiently), it can lose the asterisk & move southward between Lipscomb & MLK.

That would explain the annoying lack of a TX310 shield or space for one on the new sign at SB 283B.
Weird those posts above the left half of the sign though; is something gonna go there in the future?
