Roadscapes Wednesday: America’s Weirdest Interchanges

Welcome to the Roadscapes Wednesday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Roadscapes Wednesday will feature roads and infrastructure related topics. Geek Alabama Editor / Publisher Nathan Young is often called the “road geek” for a good reason, Nathan loves roads and loves talking about roads!

Throughout history, Americans have begun to heavily rely on vehicles and roadways for their everyday traveler. This has only been encouraged by the interstate system, which has made this sort of travel extremely efficient. But with a country of over 300 million people, it has become a mission for planners to design infrastructure that supports this number of travelers. Especially in big cities, this has resulted in wide, towering freeways with massive stacking interchanges throughout their routes. So today I wanted to go through a few of the weirdest and worst interchanges I’ve found, giving an overview of where they are and why they are there.
