The 635/75 interchange is proof that God has abandoned DFW drivers

Every day, thousands of DFW residents stare into the abyss at the High Five interchange and the abyss stares back.

Levels of 635/75 grief:

Denial: "It's only 3 miles, it can't take that long."
Anger: honking at nobody in particular
Bargaining: "If I take the service road maybe I'll only be 20 minutes late."
Depression: sitting in standstill traffic watching the clock hit 8:45 AM
Acceptance: "I live here now. This is my home. I will raise my children on this overpass."

The High Five interchange is 5 levels tall and 0 levels functional.

If you've ever made it through the 635/75 merge without braking, you're either lying or driving at 3 AM.

I have started therapy specifically because of this interchange. My therapist also commutes on 635 so we cry together.

Google Maps said 12 minutes. Waze said 18 minutes. The actual time was "yes."

I once sat in the 635/75 merge for 45 minutes and aged 3 years. When I emerged, my children had graduated college.

Fun fact: the High Five cost $261 million to build and my commute still takes 55 minutes.

The High Five looks cool from a helicopter. From inside your car it looks like a punishment designed by someone who hates Dallas specifically.
