I was in Denver this weekend for the big IMTA map convention, and took a lot of photos of I-25, I-70, and I-225. I-25 and I-225 were under construction for many years as part of a rebuilding process called T-Rex. The project involved adding lanes, bridges, and two rail lines along the interstate corridors. The end result is impressive. Through Arapahoe County, I-25 is an unrelenting 10 lanes [...]
The craze now in various European capitals seems to be the Beltway - Vienna's S2, Budapest's M0, Belgrade, Skopje, Warsaw, etc. I came across this image of part of Stockholm's new Södra Länken (the Southern Link) - the southern part of the beltway there.

I-490 is a very short east/west freeway (just 2.43 miles long) south of downtown Cleveland, it connects I-90 with I-77. Each end features a multi-level stack and the eastern end is a stub, making this one of the more interesting tiny three-digit interstates out there. As always, click each image for a bigger one. The eastern end of I-490 at 55th St. The freeway was to have extended eastward. [...]

Luckily, AARoads has it well photographed now. [...]

The US 42 end sign in Cleveland's Public Square Public Square features specialized brown signs on each side, the one that interested me the [...]
Oklahoma is getting new state road signs, in anticipation of the state's centennial in 2007. At least in Southeastern Oklahoma this month, there are not too many of the new signs put up. Idabel, Antlers, Hugo, and Durant are all still using the old circle signs. For the few I found, they were signed by road rather than by intersection or area. That means, there are lots of signposts with [...]
