High resolution View of the original freeway, looking west toward the Loop 12 freeway ahead. At the time of this photo, all connections to Loop 12 were made via frontage roads.

The project was finished in July 2012. The $301 million Irving Interchange project, from 2021 to 2023, included work to transform this section to its final configuration. (Photo date: 28-April-2007)
