Many levels of irony :) . Perhaps like the Great Wall it would have been better to run highways and tunnels through it but otherwise leave it intact[1]. There is in fact a gallery/museum with a large chunk of it, intact, including then-relevant murals painted just after the tearing down[2] - And that has immense cultural/historic value. It somewhat has the feel of a standard urban underpass, though. I don't think it's quite enough to capture the monstrosity of the wall.
