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

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. Commodore Joe Redcloud© |
