As is it is now, you can take the Commerce bridge from downtown over to Sylvan and hop on I-30 there while by-passing all the interchange mess. The I-30 bridge and approach ramps will be a much larger project and will interupt traffic much more than the Woodall extension. Starting with the extension first allowed them to essentially build the extension with very little interruptions to traffic.

You can take the Commerce or Continental bridges, or use Riverfront BLVD. I use any one of these routes when I-30 and I-35E get backed up. The plans for West Dallas are nice (not sure on the timetable though), but I still think the bridges for I-30 or I-35E should have been built first. They feel like they're about to fall apart.
