Driving Directions and Highway Details
For those driving, the most direct route from Dallas Love Field to downtown Fort Worth follows a combination of highways that can vary based on traffic conditions. The primary routes include:
Route 1: I-35E South to I-30 West
From Love Field, merge onto Lemmon Avenue or Inwood Road heading south. Connect to I-35E southbound toward Dallas. After approximately 8 miles, take the I-30 exit toward Fort Worth.
