This is one of the only connecting-supporting pieces built for the proposed interstate highway that would have bracketed the CSX-subway tracks running north from Union Station. It's way out of character and infrastructure built "far too robustly" for traffic volumes far beyond what the area generates. What that means is that the prevailing speeds are far higher than the posted 35 mph limits.
