Debris was spread across the closed southbound lanes, possibly to block vehicles. (Photo date: 23-Sept-2007)
The northbound lanes still have the original concrete. Motorists who drove the original Central Expressway may remember its coarse, rough-textured concrete. This was the last remaining section of original concrete at the time of the photo. (I don't know if it is still in use as shown, or if it has been overlaid with asphalt.)'. (Photo date: 23-Sept-2007)

This looks north on the Good Latimer overpass. Below, work was in progress on the DART southeast green line light rail. This bridge was demolished as part of the light rail project, and the traffic lanes were lowered to ground level with a ground-level crossing of the DART tracks. (Photo date: 23-Sept-2007)
