	U.S. 82 East and U.S. 277 North at Brook Avenue. The four eastbound lanes seen here will be squeezed into two lanes within the next quarter-mile. (Photo taken 3/18/05)
	Now down to just two lanes, the freeway concludes as traffic is shunted onto the frontage roads. Stay to the left to get onto U.S. 277/U.S. 281/U.S. 287 North and Interstate 44 East. Stay to the right to continue on U.S. 82 East, which becomes multiplexed with U.S. 281 and U.S. 287 South. (Photo taken 3/18/05)
	As traffic merges onto the frontage road, two extra lanes become available. Merge to the right to stay on U.S. 82. (Photo taken 3/18/05)
	U.S. 82 East and U.S. 277 North at U.S. 82 East/U.S. 281 South/U.S. 287 South - Texarkana/Fort Worth. Texarkana is used as a control city instead of Gainesville or Sherman, which we believe are better candidates, considering that Texarkana is still 272 miles away. Fort Worth, on the other hand, is just 104 miles away via U.S. 287 South. (Photo taken 3/18/05)
	The left two lanes are allowed to turn onto U.S. 277 North. Traffic will use the freeway's frontage roads for a mile before merging onto the freeway. At that point, Interstate 44 East begins. Straight ahead is the eastbound beginning of Spur 447, connecting U.S. 277/U.S. 281/U.S. 287 to Texas 240. (Photo taken 3/18/05)

	Use the center lane to merge onto Interstate 44 East. This is the first sign of the ramp's departure. (Photo taken 3/18/05)
	U.S. 277 North at 10th Street. The viaduct carries northbound traffic on U.S. 281 and U.S. 287 over downtown Wichita Falls. It was completed during the summer of 2001 and provides a connection between two freeways: Interstate 44 and U.S. 281/U.S. 287. Previously, all traffic between those two freeways were forced onto these frontage roads. (Photo taken 3/18/05)
	U.S. 277 North at Interstate 44 East/U.S. 277/U.S. 281 North. But not so fast, as there is one more stoplight between here and the on-ramp. Continue straight ahead on the frontage road to Business U.S. 277. U.S. 277 and U.S. 281 will run along Interstate 44 for 19 miles until their departure from the interstate at Exit 5 in Oklahoma.
