2021 update: All of these images are partially obsolete due to the addition of a fourth lane in each direction in the median. However, the overall configuration of the toll road remains the same. As noted, the interchange at the Dallas North Tollway opened in 2011. There has been a lot of new development along the tollway since these photos were taken.
