Just one more lane, that will fix it this time for real.
In Austin we fought tooth and nail to not have the highway expanded in downtown but the state is doing it anyway. Gonna lose some historic buildings and displace residents and solve nothing.
Drove through those one time. Only been to Texas once. We ended up on the top one of like six stacked up (not exaggerating, maybe off by one). Got a chuckle from my husband when I dramatically declared “I stand atop the hubris of man!”
If it was DFW, you’re almost certainly taking about the High 5 (exchange between I-75 and I-635,) or the Mixmaster, (exchange between I-30 and I-35.)
Both were marketed as a way to eliminate traffic between the two highways. Both are now notorious for always having traffic, because more people started driving after they were finished. I’m not sure which one is actually taller, but the High Five certainly feels taller because you have buildings on each side where you can look out and see that you’re level with their middle floors.
