When Atlanta's interstates were "supersized" back in the late '80s, downtown's elaborate interchanges and "spaghetti junction" (pictured) turned out to be quite elegant and futurist-looking.


And North Carolina's exposed, rusted steel beams have aged very well. In fact, it's hard to discern new interchanges from those built 30 years ago...

How can Texas afford so many elaborate stacks while North Carolina must ration building flyovers which usually are the costliest single chunk of highway project?

Those exposed steel stacks look like their still under construction..
