Historic Photos of Dallas: Building the Highways

Some of you may enjoy these fairly high-resolution historic photos of Dallas. These photos document the various freeway projects in Big D, mostly from the 60's onward. A few of my favorites:
- 1953-present: US 75 North, Central Expressway
- 1969: Interstate 635, Stack Construction at IH-30 (above photo) and US-80 (formerly I-20)
- 1963: Interstate 30 (formerly Interstate 20), just East of Downtown Dallas
These photos are key to understanding the city in its temporal context; thank goodness somebody thought to archive them. The construction of these highways allowed for all the outward growth that Dallas experienced since the 1960's, and has changed the face and character of the city in countless ways.
