IH-35 has been under continuous construction since .. the 90's?
Hindsight being what it is .. they should have built a new 8-lane highway a few miles to the West rather than attempting to widen it multiple times (with all the bridge replacements needed) through towns like Temple and Waco. But as the Texas Central Railroad has found, you can't just eminent-domain land in Texas for large infrastructure projects.
- ghaff 5y agoI live about an hour west of Boston. There's a sort of half-ring six-lane highway called I-495. It mostly handles the traffic load fairly well. But it's a source of sometimes genuine surprise to me that a highway of this capacity for the area was built in the late 1950s given that must have seemed almost outrageously overbuilt for at least most of its route at the time.
