I drive between West Houston and Dallas a lot. I prefer talking hwy 6 to Waco and 35 to Dallas even though it is a little longer. I35 between Waco and the split can suck bad. And All Dallas freeways suck. But something bad always happens on 45.
And the 15 miles north of Corsicana has been under construction for years EDIT its South of Corsicana not North.
