About 70 miles west of Fort Worth TX, on I20 there is a rift grade which rises about 300 feet on an escarpment. The original design of the interstate causes a curving and descending roadbed in sort of an S shape just east of the town of Ranger. It's known as 'Ranger hill'. For the past 25 years, it's been one of the deadliest pieces of interstate in the state of TX.
For the past 5-6 years, the highway crew has tried all kinds of things to stop the carnage on Ranger hill, but in any kind of wind, rain, ice or heavy traffic there would be a deadly pileup.
Recently, there's a new design road going in. The taxpayers are spending millions, and millions, and millions of $$$ to straighten, and grade the road. It looks like they are going to move a million yards of dirt just to fix this one bad piece of road without a decline in speed.
By the time the construction is done, it will be hugely expensive. But it carries a lot of traffic all day, every day. I guess that's the price.
