Where it runs
I-30 begins at I-20 west of Fort Worth, runs through downtown Fort Worth, and carries the Tom Landry Freeway name across Arlington and Grand Prairie. In Dallas it passes along the south side of downtown, then heads east as the R.L. Thornton Freeway through Mesquite and Garland and across Lake Ray Hubbard into Rockwall.
Where cars get stuck
Between Grand Prairie and Dallas, reversible TEXpress lanes sit behind barriers in the center and switch direction with the commute. South of downtown Dallas the highway drops into a sunken stretch called the Canyon, where tall walls and work zones squeeze the shoulders, and the two bridges over Lake Ray Hubbard give you nowhere to exit until you reach land. Event nights in Arlington back up the exits near the stadiums.
If you stop here
- Losing power? Make it to the next exit or the right shoulder, and off the Lake Ray Hubbard bridges if you can.
- Stuck in the reversible lanes, stay in the car with hazards on and call 911.
- Belt on and doors locked whenever traffic is passing close.
- Never stand between the car and traffic, especially in the Canyon, where there's no room to step away.
- Tell dispatch eastbound or westbound, the city you're in, and the nearest exit.
What we fix on the shoulder
Service prices; one dispatch fee is added per job.

Questions
01Is all of I-30 called the Tom Landry Freeway?
No. Tom Landry covers the stretch between Fort Worth and Dallas. East of downtown Dallas it's the R.L. Thornton Freeway, and in Fort Worth drivers say West Freeway or East Freeway depending on which side of I-35W they're on.
02I got a flat on the Lake Ray Hubbard bridge. Should I stop?
Not if the car can keep moving slowly. With hazards on, drive to the first exit past the bridge or a wide shoulder on land; a damaged wheel is better than standing beside bridge traffic. Then call and tell us your direction and the exit you took.
