Mr. Chenevert Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 If you are on the 59N to I10W connector ramp, you will see a green roadway sign that is blocked off and from google, you can see the beginnings of a ramp that appear to never have been built... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&...0.01325&t=h Even those the exit name is blocked off, you can tell there is a letter 'y' in the title of the road. My guess is that it was intended to exit to either Elysian St or to Lyons St. Does anyone know what was to become of this ramp and why it was never finished?

energyman2005 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I would agree that it's likely the future connector to the Hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 There seem to be quite a few of these around the city, though. Some I would imagine that be future connections (EastTex to BW8), but some I wonder if they were blunders that wore caught at the time of construction.

Trae Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 It is for the Hardy. The Hardy will be extended to this interestion as a freeway soon. Just like I-10E and I-610E has ramps like this for the Crosby Freeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
