The entrance ramps are longer on the 110?  I think they're just
as short.  But you're right they are not blind.

I don't see why they needed to make the Mopac/183 interchange so
large.  And look at what's being done on the south end of Mopac.

The first time my wife and I saw the Mopac/183 interchange we were
very surprised based on what we had seen of the Austin freeway
system in the past hour.

I know I'm going to regret typing this but why couldn't we have had
a smaller interchange and left some of the quaintness that Austin
is known for?
