Looks like fun, although IIRC, the TV report said it's over 20 mill to build it.
I am to understand elevated circles are rare.
i suppose it's just a matter of time before Texas builds a 4 or 5 decker traffic circle . . . .
:biggrin:
Just looking at the one of the images in the story, or perhaps an image in a connected story, it appears WB Old Cheney Road is getting eliminated. Looking at the area to the NW of the intersection, I don't see how they would be connected to 14th or Warlick, unless they build a new road. This appears to be building an elevated roundabout just for the sake of having one. I could see a roundabout, but not an elevated one.

The only one I know of offhand is outside New Orleans, where US 61 meets Causeway Blvd (which ties to the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway)
Just found it! (https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9746289,-90.1562971,410m/data=!3m1!1e3)
I wouldn't be surprised if this is incorporated into a new freeway interchange in the US! BTW, these already exist in Europe, right?
There's one in Massachusetts, although it only has 3 exits: MA 38/110 in Lowell.
That looks ridiculous. I'm not a fan of multi-lane roundabouts. I just hate them so much.
