The most elaborate interchange/intersection you seen?

[dgolub]

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Bruckner Interchange in the Bronx.  You've got I-95, I-295, I-278, I-678, and the Hutchinson Parkway all converging on one point.  Also, there's a separate (very short) expressway, I-695, that bypasses the interchange altogether for two of the motions between I-95 and I-295.

I almost forgot about this interchange. It's Virginia's original "Mixing Bowl"... I-395 at VA 27

The Kellogg Interchange in Pomona it has to be another complex interchange for Southern California and its elaborate too.

I saw this video yesterday on YouTube:

I thought the one going through a building was the most unique.  Here's a link to it on Google Maps.

In Jacksonville the i10/95 merger(US17 and SR228 also go thru the interchange)  and connections to local streets nearby which are not in the strictest definition part of the exit


Just scross the St Johns River is the interchange of 95 with US1, US90,  SR 13, SR10 (which becomes signed and seperate from US90 just east of there) and San Marco Blvd.



Fuller Warren Bridge was replaced finished in about 2000. 10/95 merger rebuilt finising 2006. Currently the viaduct on 95 at the southend is being reconstructed finising in 2018... So over 20 years of projects in the general area

What interchange is that at 0:07?

The Orange Crush is the most elaborate I can think of within the US, particularly since they added the HOV ramps: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.7804191,-117.8801821,16.05z

Then there's the 25/76/270/36 complex in northern Denver: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8216053,-104.9735603,14.55z

I see your Orange Crush and raise you the Newhall Interchange at the northern end of the San Fernando Valley.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned these few in NYC: (note that I made up the names of most of these interchanges, so if there's an official name please let me know)

"Kew Gardens Interchange": Grand Central Parkway/I-678/Jackie Robinson Parkway/Union Turnpike

"Flushing Interchange": I-495/I-678/College Point Blvd.

"Whitestone Interchange": I-678/NY-25A/Grand Central Parkway

"Maj. Deegan Interchange": I-95 & US-1/I-87/Washington Bridge

"Henry Hudson Interchange": I-95 & US-1 & US-9/NY-9A/A bunch of side streets

Mine is the upcoming interchange in Fort Worth at I-35W, US 287, SH 121 (Airport freeway), and Spurs 280 and 347 (Belknap and Weatherford).  Overlayed upon this are managed lanes.  Getting traffic directly to and from the managed lanes adds complexity.

It looks like the managed lanes get a direct route to US 287 southbound, while the current route, which future main lane traffic will continue to use, is to go south on I-35W to the eastbound I-30 exit to get to US 287.  I don't see a managed lane exit to Spur 280, but there is one to Spur 347, which appears to be accessible by direct connectors only to and from the managed lanes (which are only to the north), while other traffic to and from downtown is directed to Spur 280.  Both Spurs go to about the same place, a few blocks apart downtown, but the managed lane users get their own road to and from downtown.

A significant improvement is that US 287 north will have direct access to SH 121 without using the Interstate main lanes, which currently is a major pain.  Another is the frontage road bridges over the river.  Currently, all traffic is forced onto the main lane bridges.  By my count, they manage to do all of this in just 5 levels.  The interchange doesn't cover a large area, but it has a lot of segregated roadways going to different places.  By my count, it has as many as 13 parallel roadways either on separate structures or segregated by barriers at the widest point, just north of Spur 280.  I estimate 29 lanes at that point.

In my country, the most complex one that comes to my mind it's the A-4 - M-30 - Embajadores Street - Andalucía Avenue - Planetario Avenue interchange, that even has tunnels extending half a kilometer away from it to meet Planetario Ave.

Maybe the most elaborate for me is the I-77/85 interchange in charlotte because we went over it a few times between downtown CLT and the hotel we were staying at. The geometry also seems unusual.

The I-495/66 interchange in Merrifield is another "real" interchange I can remember.

I come from an area with cloverleafs, diamonds and half stacks, nothing really interesting (except the redesigned Peace Bridge interchange). Although even some "complex" interchanges like the Chicago Loop don't seem as interesting when you drive through them.

Then it was built and signed properly!  Complex interchanges can seem real complex, scary & confusing from the sky.  But for most people, they just need to stay on the mainline, or take a single ramp from one road to another road, just like any other highway interchange.

There's been a few pictures taken with some professional zoom cameras of the DC Beltway around I-66 and the Dulles Toll Road.  From a certain angle, all you see is signs for exits all over the place, for both the tolled and free roadways.  But in reality, the picture was able to clearly focus on over 2 miles worth of roadway, so all you simply saw was the normal signage for an exit (1 mile ahead, 1/4 mile ahead, Exit (here), Exit Gore sign, etc).  A lot of people criticized the picture as a problem with the roadway, but those same people probably had no clue that is the roadway they drive every day...and it certainly is less crazy sign-wise when you're driving along it.

I-264 and I-65 interchange in Louisville.

Until the late 80s early 90s it was just two clover leaves, improvements were challenging due to the close proximity of Louisville International Airport and the additional interchange for the airport/Exhibition center as well as for Crittenden Dr and Preston Highway.
