credits go to @ geopizza on instagram, they are amazing
To be sure, though, the urban highway is still there: it’s just been put in a tunnel. I mean, it’s an improvement for sure, but it doesn’t solve the actual problem: through traffic is still being fed into the city along all the other urban highways that still exist — and you can’t put them all under the ground.
It should also be noted that the top photo shows a temporary road: at the time the photo was taken, work had already started on the tunnel. You can see the temporary wooden lampposts. Only half the asphalt surface in that photo is in use: the raised section to the right is the original highway, now closed to traffic to allow tunnelling work to proceed.
