^^^^ Yeah, it’s a glitch in the Matrix. Notice that the woods on either side of the “two expressways” are identical.

I hadn't noticed that, but I do believe you are right.

What are some instances of cities/towns/states/etc building up a highway only for the plans to change? One such example I can think of is in Illinois; several stretches of U.S. 50 feature exits and four-lane bridges, yet very little of it is actually four lanes. The abandoned bridge sections/wide ROW is because IL was banking on turning U.S. 50 into I-64 before it got its routing farther south

The I-610/TX 225 interchange in the Houston area comes to mind: full stack interchange, then the freeway (going west from Pasadena) ends right after. The original plan (I think) was either for TX 225 to go into downtown as well or merge into I-45 (US 75 at the time?) but it never materialized.
