Wow, they fit an interchange there?

Quote from: SkyPesos on January 17, 2021, 10:52:02 AMInteresting seeing US 131 switch sides in the interchange. Any other interchanges that does that?

I stumbled upon this recently-built marvel in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Both mainlines switch sides, and the interchange could've been free-flowing if not for the desire to incorporate frontage road access. It's incredibly compact even though there's plenty of vacant land around for now, because that's how they do things in Mexico. OTOH, it's also architecturally amazing, which is all too rare down there.

I can think of 3 in the Chicago area.
The Jane Byrne Circle Interchange of I-90/94 (Kennedy/Ryan Expys) and I-290 (Eisenhower/Ida B Wells).

The I-95/US 250 (Broad Street) interchange in Richmond comes to mind. It's very complex because it's squeezed into a small area on Shockoe Hill.

Yes!! The approaches to the Ross Island Bridge are a hot mess.

This is the only example of a diverging windmill interchange I've ever seen in real life.
