Most of that is wrong. Further proof you are a sock
puppet. Folks, the interchanges were redesigned only
a few years ago.

That's a pretty incomplete history. No mention of the then
revolutionary "Clover Leaf intersections", or the overpass bridges
which were all designed by artists with no two the same. Those are
pretty major features to overlook.

Then there were the original signs which were made of wood and had
ceramic letters. The letters had glass beads glued on them so they
would reflect in headlights at night. Rexcently, they have started to
use metal replica's of those old siogns, but they are pretty poor
representations for the old ones.

The original entrance and exit ramps were finally replaced about 20
years ago. The originals were designed for cars that were only going
20 miles an hour.

He didn't even know about the Belgian block.
