I know this goes without saying, but there's been a ton of work done on Central the last couple of years.  Still, the traffic jams up on a daily basis going up through Allen into Plano and that trouble can be traced to the on and off ramps around Bethany.  Well, TxDOT believes they can rectify the situation with a little tweak.  

Starting Monday, TxDOT crews will start an eight-month, $1.6 million ramp reversal project at southbound 75 and Bethany Drive in Allen. Sounds crazy, but it just might work!  Here's what you need to know: The entrance ramp at Bethany will be closed starting Monday. Later, the Frontage Road exit ramp will be closed.  The project is expected to be completed in April 2009....oh and there will be message boards along the project to guide you through.

So what do you think?  Will the reversal help?  Or will it add confusion to the congestion?
