    It really is. Surprisingly, construction at I-610 is doing some nice progress with some beautiful widening at Sugar Land to Rosenburg *which should've been done wayy before* is going pretty good. Maybe traffic will not be so bad after all from I-610 South/West Loop to Rosenburg once it's all complete, huh?

I never did drive it southbound, approaching downtown (only drove it northbound, once I got past I-45); that's an awesome view of the skyline. By the way, how old is that interchange at 1:30? That's probably the craziest assembly of ramps in North America.

    As for the elevated freeways, they are mostly located in cities with multiple railroad lines going out in every direction. Not to many freeways go under a railroad, as the railroads were built long before the freeways. Railroads have higher clearances than vehicles.

    One thing I've noticed about American freeways is that they are much above ground and made of concrete. In Australia we typically have them depressed into the ground allowing overpassing roads and interchanges to be lower to the ground, only the interchanges are built of raised concrete. Though our state governments have been looking into creating similar to American freeways.

    Now this comment was 10 years old, but it's worth noting that the elevated highways are mostly only seen in urban areas. Rural highways are at ground level and crossroads pass over them. Often, rural highways are asphalt.

    @aswchris No way, man! I have a lot of respect for US-59 (to get the full of it you really do have to drive it at night, though-with an amazing view of the Houston skyline on the background), but Katy Fwy is a thing of absolute beauty. There's just no comparison. It's infinitely more aesthetically pleasing and imposing, not to mention how much more modern it is. My favorite freeway stretch in Houston is, however, West I-610 southbound from I-10 to US-59, by far. Truly phenomenal.

    Indeed. Through the Houston area (and from there down to Victoria at a minimum), they are pretty much one and the same. They even have exit numbers (!) on the stretch through Fort Bend County. Once it's done, I-69 as a singular highway will end south of Victoria (where 59 and 77 meet) and split in two: I-69W, which will follow 59 to Laredo; and I-69E, which will follow 77 past Corpus Christi going all the way to Brownsville. Now there is also an I-69C around the Edinburg/McAllen area; this will follow 281 from there to (I believe) George West, which is just west of I-37, where it merges with I-69W.

    I believe Texas has already decided on the I-69 corridor, from Brownsville to a south and east bypass of Shreveport. It will have a intersection for I-20 east of Shreveport. There will be three spurs of I-69, I-69C following US 281 to New Allen, I-69W following US 84 to Laredo, and I-369 following US 59 to Texarkana. Most of the highway is already built as US Highways, but they will have to be improved in many areas to controlled access with intersections, over and under passes. There will also be a few short bypasses built around the smaller towns and cities.

    Most of this interstate is already built in Texas as a divided four lane highway which will need to be improved with controlled access intersections. The most expensive stretch through Houston is already freeway status. The longest stretch not built as a four lane highway is the branch going to Laredo from Corpus Christi. So it shouldn't take too long for Texas to finish this interstate.
