I can't believe I can't find a picture for US12-20-45 around Chicago.  But I did scrounge up this:

The double roundabout on Lee Road at southbound US-23 and Whitmore Lake Road (old US-23) east of Brighton, MI.  The exit ramp from southbound US-23 isn't shown on the first roundabout since a turn obviously isn't allowed.

Why would they need to build a roundabout out in the middle of nowhere in the Arizona desert? That seems like a huge waste, even given my dislike of roundabouts/rotaries/traffic circles. There can't be enough traffic there to justify this new construction over a two-way or four-way stop.

The area wasn't super desolate like a map might lead you to believe.  Still not a whole lot of traffic to warrant a roundabout, though.  I think the only advantage of this roundabout is that you can go through the intersection without reaching a complete stop.  I guess a yield is a bit better than a total stop lol.   That's the only positive thing I have to say about it though.  Overall it is pretty silly.

August 27, 2017:  Let's see how many Mississippi River bridges we can post.  Show us photos of all the engineering marvels that traverse America's mightiest river.

I also propose a motion that we make this a multi-day challenge until we have every bridge covered (south of Minneapolis).

Here's the US34 bridge at Burlington, Iowa, looking east.  I have a couple more to add but I'll see if someone else has photos to post of them first (or you can scrounge photos up from my flickr account).

I imagine a desert chicken is a less-reliable, less-powerful knockoff of a Desert Eagle.

I can represent four of the crossings in Louisiana. Granted, my pictures are more of signs on/near the bridges than the bridges themselves.

Dang it, I live nowhere near the Mississippi River, what about the Hudson River?
