A few years ago $166 million was dropped in Arlington, Texas, where a section of Interstate 30 was completely modernized. The effort was called "Three Bridges." But since then, a new problem has emerged. At the western edge of the project at Cooper Street, motorists leaving the Three Bridges project and heading toward Fort Worth must endure a heck of a bottleneck, as the new, wider freeway squeezes back down to the rest of I-30, which is still old, outdated and hopelessly narrow. Our roving reporter, Gordon Dickson, took some time the other day to get himself stuck in the I-30 muck in Arlington, and to talk with people about why this gridlock happens.
