You know for the I 35 double Decker I like the upper decker better when I go through Austin and drive on the upper decker instead of the lower decker because it’s less traffic, and you get a good and a better view of Austin
I35 should have been built to the east of the old air force base. Not through the middle of town. Could have done the same with I35 in San Antonio. Have through traffic bypass the city. One good thing about most o
the premise justifying the costs of a natl IH system were military logistics concerns only; mandating for military purposes direct access into the very cores of every urban center. going around city centers seems today obvious, all current and future freeway growth now are based precisely on such premise as you posit, fren. seems today to be 'obviously' the better way to build, but back then cold war concerns were less intense than _only_ the just finished WWII 'maximum effort' of total war mobilization of all allied natl economic output. virtually every/any/all WWII Allies natl gov top leadership were by mid-fifties quite reasonably terrified of a sudden soviet blitzkrieg attack, (by increasingly unstable post-stalin soviet inner circle purges and sudden 'unpersonings' of what 'just last week' were top soviet laeders), on even the US homeland, thus their building of IH system which today appears to us 'obviously'become the very future 'congestion magnets' we know and hate so much today. ;-) they warnt 'stupid', they were *focused* on then-new, very real, wholly unpredictable, cold war concerns, planning for every/any military contingency, even a homeland ground war.
Great video from you, Mike! In case you never heard, some serious changes is gonna happen heading north after you pass TX-71 in some years.
Much needed
@@MileageMikeTravels Yeah, I think it's gonna be from that freeway all the way to TX-45, maybe even more north.
Nice ride along interstate 35 through the state capital of Texas
Austin Metro has reached big boy status now ✅

Nice video of I 35 North in Austin Texas
At 2:00 you actually hit Buda, TX.
I see. Don’t know how I missed that big sign. 😂
@@MileageMikeTravels It’s all good, you blink and you’ll miss Buda anyways. 🤣
I used to work at a car auction in Kyle so I know that stretch of highway pretty good
In my opinion, you get better views of the Downtown Austin skyline northbound I-35 than southbound I-35.
Definitely
22:38 who does that graffiti on the back of the exit signs?
19:06 What was that driver thinking?
Austin drivers don’t think lol
@@SNicole82 Texas drivers don't think overall 😂
