Here is a strange one in South America. Not often ive seen interchanges just end at a field. And yet, there are cars between the field and the loop. Where did they come from, out of the dirt roads?
Hey man, that is normal. They are planning to continue building there but since there's no need yet, they just stopped there.
A lot of people use that to make burnout ith the cars and do a "cavalinho de pau" lol, i love it. Ill take some pics for you!

I'm a guy named Daniel , and just to tell you , I live in Henderson , a suburb of Las Vegas. And to get to a few casinos that are my favorites , or go to Mt. Charleston , I have to pass the Spaghetti bowl. You're correct because there is a lot of traffic . Pasta is my favorite food so I , just like you , feel hungry when I am at the spaghetti bown. I hope they're giant!

Man, I live near this crazy interchange and drive to the mall (Dom Pedro Shopping) at least once a week. There is a project to extend the highway from this point until Unicamp, the college located after that field. Nowadays there is no traffic from the field, all the cars comes from the mall and goes to the other highway, right behind the first ones. The cars between the field and the loop are driving out of the law, because the road not ready yet and the signs were taken off , and they try to get faster to the other highway. I believe that Ive been clear, despite my poor English.

Hi,
This is the Oresund bridge, a really cool bridge/ tunnel combination that connects Denmark to Sweden (Norway is 250 miles further north). Trains and a highway share this bridge and the last mile goes underground to avoid a busy shipping lane and Copenhagen Airport. There are no border controls because Sweden and Denmark are part of the Schengen agreement (no border controls within the EU, except for UK and Ireland.)
It only takes 20 minutes to cross over and a lot of people now live in south Sweden and work in Copenhagen because the living costs are cheaper in Sweden (except the beer is not cheap!)
Regards,
Hop & Grape

Actually, this particular interchange is located west of Arlington where I-30 and Loop 820 intersect. I used to live about a mile from there. The area has changed greatly since I lived there in the '70s, but I did find the house I lived in just east of here. This particular area is known as Handley (East Ft. Worth).

I live in the area and was also baffled when they built it. It was built to give road access to the shopping mall directly to the south (one of the largest in Latin America). My guess is that the north access indicates there are plans to use the interchange in the future to link the highway directly to the Campinas State University (look for concentric circle streets to the north, that's it).

The loop is mainly to access the big mall south to it. There is a road planned to go north from it in the future.
The mall is the biggest in Brazil, may be in South America. Not beautifull tough.
