This is Boston. The highway was moved underground as part of the “Big Dig”.

Interesting. As the shift towards EVs continues, I wonder if more cities will adopt underground road networks. It could free up more space on the surface for people to enjoy.

I used to be annoyed at bike lanes, until they all started getting connected to each other. Biking is now really fun and a hell of a lot easier than finding parking downtown. Cars still have their place, but ebikes have significantly made a big city much smaller and easier to navigate.

The problem with underground networks is that they are very expensive
