How about a pic before the Interstate was constructed? Reminds me of a project I did a few years ago in college. I have a 1955 aerial pic covering Leavenworth to L from 24th to 50th. I scanned the area that is now the Interstate and layered it over a current (well, 2007ish) aerial. Also, have other ...

From this pdf of 2010 NDOR projects it shows a grinding/resurfacing of West Dodge from 124-176. I wonder if they'll do the same like they did to I-80 from 50th westward?

According to this article , With the Highway Trust Fund drowning in red ink, taxpayers have twice bailed it out using general-fund monies - $8 billion in 2008 and $7 billion in 2009. Congress is likely to shore up the deficit in the same way this year. Here is an 2007 spreadsheet from the Federal Hi...
