- Video tours America's 2nd tallest stack interchange at 115 feet tall . the interchange is located in west houston appx 13 miles from downtown . shows every viewing angle and every connector
The music is so cool and nostalgic, the video really feels like a different era now that we're in 2023...
man I knew that was a tall over pass... everytime i drove it I told my wife... this is high! i work on billboards I know what high is!!
Have been all around the world so many times.but Texas have it's own flavor not seeing any where in the world 🤠 so relaxing.
At 3:30 = typical H-town driver...goes from the far right lane and crosses ALL lanes to try and make it onto the ramp lol gotta love it!
3:30 *
Lived in so many states in the USA. Loved them all 💞 but Houston Texas have it's own charm.
Just the facts alone are amazing. Thank you!
Cant believe this video is 10 years old
How did I miss this awesome tour? You did an incredible job on this, Brian!! I loved every moment of this!
I've driven all over that section and if I'd known how tall they were, I probably would have been scared, LOL. Another great video. Was in that area (at Memorial City Mall) during the last minute Christmas rush and it was a parking lot.
Nice tour. I followed every bit even though I moved from Houston in 1984. But I visit when I HAVE to.
Wow, what a tour! :)
Great video. Makes me want to drive it myself. Thanks for sharing, dude!
As usual, excellent work young sir. I travel this interchange every day of my life; I live near Kirkwood/Katy Fwy, Kirkwood is my exit. I used to work downtown, so went through every day on the Katy. Got a new job 2 weeks ago; office is at Greenspoint, moving to Sam Houston Tollway/290 in January. So now I get to go on the highest levels each way. It never fails to thrill me (I know, dumb, but it's just amazing to me). I really like and appreciate all your videos, please keep doing them!
Wow great video 5 out of 5 stars great information music ranks right up there as one of my favorites along with another bridges video.
I enjoyed watching your video about the interstate 10/Beltway 8 interchange junction
Man, I love this city. Houston rocks...
We have biger freeways here in California, I lived in Katy for 3 Years and to me that city and Houston in general is a joke fitted only for small brains..
Lawrence Lo ikr
TheKlausi LA sucks
I'm from South East Asia Thailand thanks for your videos friend
Great tour of the flyovers. Awesome Video.
I rly love the song and this video goes on my favourites !
Nice work! I really enjoyed this much more than when I drove it.
Great video! As someone from a small town in very eastern Canada I thoroughly enjoy these videos :)
Canada from coast to coast
Watching your vids makes my day.
Holy shit my man! 54 seconds in, I stopped to type this. ABSOLUTELY fantastic production you have made with Houston Texas roadways. The detail is superb your facts are all correct on point. its October 16, 2022 today, these videos are 11, 12, 13 years old. I know and am familiar with all these highways and the countless nightmare construction projects taken to get to where we are today. I absolutely love your Map info ( as a map major myself ) and how you lay it over to the topic at hand. Im 45 years old, I've lived in Houston Tx for forty three of these years. Have you considered coming back to make a current video of the same places you recorded before? A before and after so to speak. The scenery would be almost unrecognizable now from then 12 years ago. This is the 3rd video of Harris county roadways i've watched, But i watched them over and over because its allowed me to go back in time in my mind to these places that i wish were still like they were 12 years ago. My man who ever you are, THANK THANK YOU for the time, effort you have put into these, it's incredible for me to see at this time in my life. BRAVO! 👏
The Texas Road System has Feeder roads to compliment the major highway system. They allow the driver to conveniently navigate thru city traffic and make U-Turns along the major Texas city freeways.
Very impressive, nice work!
Nice username, I see you have love for Houston's underground music (;
That is one kick-ass interchange. I just hope that someday we will see some of these badasses in Europe too, we have only a handful of stacks.
@1skylinedreamz BTW, there is no such thing as a 9 or 10 stack, lmao. the biggest is a supposed 6 stack in Shanghai which doesnt really count because its only 5 levels of roadway, and one tiny pedestrian bridge. LA has ONE five stack interchange, the Judge Harry Peterson Interchange. Houston has SEVEN five level stack interchanges. we dominate LA, people just associate LA with highways because of their terrible traffic and crazy urban sprawl. Houston is slowly gaining more recognition...
This is one badass interchange.
The tallest interchange in the US is in Dallas, Texas 8 miles north of downtown at the junction between I-635 and US 75. The highest speed limit in the US is also in Texas at 80mph/ 128 km/hr. The eastern Austin, Texas bypass is set to have a posted speed limit of 85mph/ 137 km/hr when complete.
Great great my Country I love it... God BLESS America
This is actually the THIRD tallest interchange in the U.S.. According to YOU (TX-130 video), the interchange at SH-130, SH-45, and US-183 is the tallest at 117 ft. THIS interchange at I-10 and TX-8 is 115 ft.
Very interesting video. In Europe, the biggest interchanges have no more 2 or 3 stacks!!!
Great video man! Well edited
Great video
Great video, a lot of technical data that you were able to get your hands on. I can tell you put a ton of effort into this one. It's a huge interchange for sure, but since it's Texas, they will probably build something in the not-too-distant future that'll dwarf not only this interchange, but the High 5 as well.
Maybe with the grand parkway? Or that I-10 610 intersection near the galleria? That area has been booming for the past, well, forever haha
thank you for that video
Unbelive, awesome Infraestructure
What a nice video
these interchanges scare me to death
FR LIKE IM GETTING ON I-10 FROM BELTWAY 8 IS SCARY AS HELL LIKE I GET TOTAL ANXIETY
LONE STAR STATE FOREVER.
I love the music and all of these two there was one I don't know if it was you but they played the song A Daniel by Bat for Lashes that was cool
that was an awesome video great job are u going to do some more houston videos
thanks screwdup.....you are a professionist...amazing song..........
Fantastic city to visit. My family has a home in Katy. Living in Houston tho.. yikes
I love the britches 😯
awesome vid man we dont have any stack interchanges around here
Just like the Dallas High Five on I-635 US-75 Dallas,TX
I have to notice the many supports at the lower levels that have no guard rails. How many cars do these pillars take out in a year?
Hello ScrewdUPClickV2,
I come from Germany and we have most only cloverleaf interchanges on our highways (we called "Autobahn"). Its very amazing the huge interchange of america. I like it to show your videos and the music is very good. Do you know what is the high speed on the american highways and where is the tallest and biggest interchange from the USA?
PS: I hope do you can me understand, my english is not perfect. I hope you answer my question. Best wishes from Germany.
It used to be taller before the rebuilt it. It looks better than the original, but definitely a little shorter.
This is an awesome vid! I'm trying to build a city as big as Houston on Minecraft. How do you think I should do the level stack interchanges?
You finished yet?
Please tell me you're done
I have no ideal. Its easy just build them where each one overlaps or underlaps.
Outstanding work! I know what's involved in making a video like this and you really did a great job with it, one of your best. 5* and favorited!
thats fucking sick man , i wish we had that here...
Good video well done. Very Low semi count thought maybe it was on a Sunday. Must see video for any tourist I think they could get going in circles....1 pedestrian...I think he was a beggar too.
got dam i love this
@ScrewdUPClickV2 damn, i rest my case. ha.. do you know of any other country in the world with as many 5 level interchanges as houston? i was thinking possibly china if any since they have that 5/6 stack in shanghai, and are building a very extensive network, but i havent seen pictures or heard of any others in the country so idk. thats pretty impressive if houston tops every country outside the US in that category, and really speaks volumes of the city/infrastructure.
Beautiful from above, detriment to society from below

So this ramp is the 2and tallest in the usa? dallas beat us by 5 feet
i live right net to this ramp:)
I drive i-10 at night and im amazed by the size of this freeway
I watch the driving video well ^ ^
Impressive engineering - it's nice to see a stack that manages to be quite compact for what it does (probably helped by the width of the I-10 mainline) and doesn't end up looking like a bowl of noodles like the High 5 (the absence of HOV ramps probably helps).
Just a shame you didn't (or couldn't) use the Chicane version of Saltwater for the soundtrack - probably be asking to get taken down if you did.
When Will Use Sosrobahu for Building Interchanges in USA?
damn i love houston! no other city in the world comes close to our highway system. i wish they would of built this interchange 6 feet taller so the people in dallas would shut the hell up about having the tallest interchange, lol.. i dont see what all the hype is about with the high five. dallas finally got ONE 5 level interchange, while houston has already torn down 20+ year old 5 level interchanges to make room for new ones. without ft worth dallas will never be half the city that houston is.
man its just the dumb folks in Dallas that feel they are the largest city in texas, will take any chance to get a shot in over Houston folks. 19-10 shut the hell up dallas Texas. Little city syndrome trying to compensate for something.. LOL im kidding Mostly. Dallas tx is ehh ok Id say, fair to partly cloudy at best. Still a part of the best state in the union! TEXAS is where its at YO!
was the THX intro necessary?
NGL Houston and Dallas look like urban heat island effect hellscapes.
We need hyper trains crisscrossing all over the US.
Wow! Use to live and work just off of the Katy Freeway! Things have changed! Love Houston!!
Thank you very much.
In Germany we can drive without speedlimit. Only into 1/2 of a Autobahn we have a Speed Limit.
@phillyslasher Oh, absolutely not, man. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Houston is comparable to Los Angeles in terms of population or anything. I was just saying that you can't say a 5-stack interchange isn't really one because one of its levels consists of the frontage roads intersecting. LA is a pretty spectacular place, but the fact that Houston's population is half as large and yet its freeway network is every bit as robust is damn impressive.
Wonderful interchange !!
It seems to be very the United States, and it is wonderful.
The earthquake puts it in Japan.
It is necessary to make the interchange strongly.
@ScrewdUPClickV2 excuse me, but do you see how close flyover ramps are to another flyover ramp is on a stack interchange, and how close the flyovers are to the groundlevel ramps (like N to E). I don't want to be rude, but I would say if you can please look up interchange (road) in wikipedia. Scroll down to hybrid and you will see something like this.
I remember when that was brand new.
Who lives in Houston?
Am I the only one?
Okay good!
you mustn't be. I do as well
When Will Build a Stack Interchange in the Philippines
0:01 thx
I wish you had some side shots. You get a better sense of how tall they really are.
I‘ve never been to Houston 🙈
Texas seems to be a on a roll with highway building.
Adam Chapin TxDOT just approved a budget of 12 billion dollars to build more highways in Houston.
Many locals here wish there was better rail transit, although they are starting to institute more bus lanes, which is a start. Highway building is on a roll due to the population growth. It seems like ever since 2008 (housing bubble) ppl have been moving to Texas due to its strong economy, job market and affordability. There is still ample space for growth in Houston as well due to the sheer amount of land in surrounding areas to spread to (Northeast, North, Northwest, West, Southwest, all other directions already mostly developed or undesirable due to Oil and Gas industry presence). Austin gets all the recognition, but Houston is a much more developed city and had the infrastructure to support more ppl, whereas Austin is struggling to keep up with the west coast migration.
@1skylinedreamz i never meant for this to be a competition. i was merely taking a jab at Dallas, and their High Five.. i love the PCH, and if you know the area you can avoid some traffic, but there is no way anywhere close to 51 million people are driving around LA every day. even the 17 million number is a little out there. there are only 15 million people in the metropolitan area.. thats to say every one of the residents was out driving their own car, including children under 16.
This song rocks! What is the name of it?

Ain't it like a full diamond?
Hey, dude, you mentioned the Katy freeway is the widest in Texas, but it is also the widest one in the world :).
Alan Azuara Ayup yea it has like 30 lanes
Alan Azuara Ayup lucky I live in houston
Technically no. You can't count frontage lanes
Widest freeway in the world ( and world's busiest ) is the 401 in Toronto. This behemoth is a minimum of 12 lanes widening to 18 lanes at its widest. This configuration stretches ( once current construction is completed ) for 63 miles. Please see Politifact Texas " World's widest freeway isn't where Sylvester Turner thinks it is " It explains how this false claim originated.
It also regularly carries at least 100 to 150 thousand more vehicles daily than the Katy and more than any freeway in L.A.
0:01 THX intro
Hugeston!
The interchange looks nuts, but as long as you keep your attentions towards the signage, it is easy to go through.
is this the tallest interchange in the us?
No but this interchange is literally 5 feet shorter than the high five interchange in dallas tx usa
I've lived right here by katy freeway and beltway 8 for over two years now and I havent figured out how to get up to the 5 level yet....not that I want to...
Beltway 8 southbound to I-10 east. I regularly take that from my house in Cypress to go to Memorial City mall.
We have good roadways
Vive le Texas !
3:57 turn right into my hood
I think the alongside roads places scenics are so goods goods, so goods beautiful and so good comfortable and so goods big, and so goods wides. I think the alongside roads places airs are so goods to fresh airs. I think this places environment are so goods comfortable. I think

Thank you for sharing thank you so much that’s right all right ok no problems me too see you soon see you later. Good job goods luck you are welcome.
I want to let you know I think I've used some of your footage and some of your videos slightly and some of the lip sync music videos that I create but I have never made money off of anything I ever did I do it as a form of artistic expression and I didn't know where some of the footage I had gotten from a long time ago I thought most of it came from us copyright free thing but I see where your videos, match up with what I worked with so I hope that was okay I can put your name in the description of those videos but hell I would have to go through them and see which ones they're in cuz I don't even remember
3:41 a flood gauge?
European Roads yep. Houston is full of Bayous. These bayous do not drain the city fast enough when it rains heavily. Occasionally, that intersection will flood, hence the gauge.
@ScrewdUPClickV2 OK. I realized what it was now. sorry
I wish they would of built this interchange 10 or 15 feet taller so people in Dallas would shut the fuck up about the high five being the worlds tallest but either way this is way more satisfying than the high five
GRAYSON Blaylock Austin currently holds the record. I.H 35 TX-71 290w @ 122 feet. 👍
