The Interchange Thread

I'm pretty sure this has been done before but I want to see what some of your city and/or country's interchanges look like.

Lets start with Los Angeles. It should be said that a lot of interchanges in Los Angeles have names.

The El Toro Y (At one point, the interchange is 26 lanes across)


The Orange Crush


The Hollywood Split


Kellog Interchange


Newhall Pass Interchange


East LA Interchange


Four Level Interchange


Glendora Curve

Wasn't looking for the world's largest interchange thread. Interchanges in general.

With that said, here is the High 5 in Dallas.

It's weird to know that I've driven through all these intersections in my short trip to California back in 2007. I remember driving on 57 over Interstate 10 wondering what it would be like if an earthquake happened since the bridge seemed so high off the ground.

I've always thought this interchange gives alot of bang for your buck, very few bridges but free-flowing.
