you can see the future ramp from southbound 281 to northbound I-35. At

This photo was just a few days before the opening of HemisFair. To the

north of Cesar Chavez Blvd., the I-37 right-of-way is paved to be used as a
parking lot for the fair. At the bottom of the photo is what was then
the fair's Texas Pavilion, which today is the Institute of Texan
Cultures.
