  • This 4 mile Abandoned Interstate section was a totally unexpected and different type of abandonment than any I have ever been too. It was extremely surreal standing on this wide open empty section of 4 lane beauty of transportation with absolutely no traffic but with all the sounds of traffic from the nearby re-routed roadway. It was strangely fun to sit and stand on the center divider wall and look up and down at the empty pavement and wishing we had my TransAm with us on this great long wide drag strip(DANG)! The drone footage was looking good too until some strong sudden wind gust came up causing some rough flying and one crash into the trees, thankfully my wife tracked the drone and it's parts down for me.

    I-595 in Broward County Florida was the opposite. Back in the late 1970's / early 1980's - before all of the bridges had been built, they had started the main road, so there had been bits of empty road between where the bridges would eventually be. And, of course, since then, they have doe a LOT of expansion to it! Watching and Supporting, LIKING another video!

    Better than the abandoned highways in CT. In our state, they start building highways and either (A) run out of money and never complete them or (B) don't get the correct environmental approval and are forced to stop with the highway not finished. We have a few of these blunders in our state

      I have two bathrooms that I'm working on a month ago or so I completed one shower and now I'm working on this one this one's more complicated.
      So if you go down to my list you'll see my shower I completed cuz I do like a walkthrough.
      After I get the second shower which is a Steam Shower,
      I will be finishing up by, staining the cabinets putting in vessel sinks waterfall faucets sunglass and Lighting to finish up these bathrooms once I get the shower work done.
      Just to give you a heads up.

    The reason why it was abandoned because the split with route 66 was dangerous and when the creek turnpike was built in 2002 the creek turnpike needs to be realigned where more people will take it now it take 20 extra minutes on the creek turnpike to get to will rogers turnpike to turner turnpike due to its turn south and dart back northwest to meet us 169 and continues west that north south section was built probably to elevate congestion on us 169 and 193 rd east ave to reach broken arrow or bixby I plan to renumber the creek turnpike Us 260 Us 269 were at memorial 260 contues west and us 169 and 269 contues south on memorial to meet us 75 to go to Texas

    It was a nightmare when that was open. Traffic would be stopped to pay at the tollbooth for miles especially on Summer holidays when people would be coming back into town from the lake. This was back when you had to stop and pay the toll to an attendant. Best thing they ever did was the reroute.
