It gets better. I'm old enough to have driven on that very same highway in its last years of existence. It was bloody narrow 6 lane highway split upper and and lower decks going Northward exiting city.

At one point, it had merge with single lane split to the Tobin bridge. Some people whom I knew who drove this "fun" stretch of the road called it the "Fun Game of Merge". This was because it was so bloody narrow and drivers were so frustrated they got highly...aggressive. I'm certainly glad above ground Central Artery is toast. It was one worse ideas for highway, I'm glad the other section wasn't built. The I-695, it would done worse things to the city.
