Anyone see this Modern Marvels episode?
« on: July 17, 2009, 04:22:53 PM »

Turning it onto History Channel...they're doing an episode of Modern Marvels on superhighways...

...and focusing on the cloverleaf at I-215/Route 60 and Route 91.  :D

I saw that several months ago. Had a blurb that China was building a freeway network that would rival if not surpass the Interstate network.

That was a very interesting episode -- Superhighways. I also like the Dangerous Roads episode. What I like most about that episode was Bolivia's "Death Road" (Yungas Road, from La Paz to Coroico). History (Channel) has me hooked with their different shows. I especially like Ice Road Truckers.

And, yeah, the "High Five" Interchange in Dallas is awesome-looking. Gotta get out there and see that.


Be well,

I can't remember from the episode, but I just checked Wikipedia. The new road opened in '06.
