Imagine if half the country's infrastructure was built in a 30 year span and there was no plans to replace the aging infrastructure that is rapid approaching the end of its lifespan, wouldn't that be crazy
Anyways, most urban freeways were built between 1950 and 1980 and are going to be in need of either replacement or demolition within the next 10 to 20 years so civic advocates and urban planners should start preparing plans for what to do with them once they need replacement
For example, the downtown portion of I-64 in Louisville was built in 1976 along the ohio riverfront and could be easily removed when the date comes and replaced with a boulevard OR if we let KYTC, it could be rebuilt as a larger structure with more lanes, it will be our job as citizens to demand that positive change is made to our cities when the infrastructure reaches its expiration date
