From a design perspective, one of the most structurally beautiful interchanges in Japan is this one pictured above of the Takaosan Interchange.

Located in the Western suburbs of Tokyo and completed in 2012, it’s a 12-way interchange that connects Route 20 with the Ken’odo. Nestled between mountains, it's hard to imagine the engineering challenges that had to be overcome. But perhaps that is what resulted in the beautifully curvaceous structure.

Cool insight. I enjoy read this type of stuff from other professionals who know about their craft. Nowadays most of the "experts" that are vocal are just pencil pushers who've never been one day on the field or are so far removed they don't have a real world understanding of how things work.
