Springfield Interchange (Real-World Accurate)

Description
This is my first ever asset I've created and shared! Enjoy!


Model Info:

This is a fairly accurate build of the Springfield Interchange just south of Washington DC in the USA. It manages access to and from I-95, I-395, I-495 (The Capital Beltway) and local roads.

Completed in 8 phases to replace the highly congested original interchange built in the 1960s which was unable to cope with a huge influx of traffic due to both incredible growth in Northern Virginia in recent decades and the re-routing of I-95 around the beltway.

One of the most expensive infrastructure projects in US history, the US$676 million interchange now handles nearly 500,000 vehicles a day.



There are 2 versions of this interchange. Because the game does not support reversible roads (I-95 has separated HOV/Express lanes that change traffic direction depending on traffic conditions, easing conjestion either in-to or out-of the city center), some creative re-design was necessary. In order to keep the model as accurate as possible, there are two intersections of express traffic to the north of the model. A second version of this asset has been re-designed to prevent this for in-game use.

Cheers!

Hey CaptainC11. I know this is almost 4 years since you commented on this. I see you gave this 5 thumbs up for this Asset. Since you know the real life interchange. Do you give the real interchange a 5 middle fingers up? HAHAHAHA

This place is a nightmare. Left lanes go to the right, and right lanes go to the left. There's only one lane for going from 95NB to 495 Inner loop and you have to slow to a crawl to go around the "express" exit to 495. I hate this interchange. Five thumbs up.
