Springfield has the unfortunate habit of building for the traffic it has now, not the traffic it will have in 10 years.

By the time the project is finished, it's already obsolete. I've seen it over and over again, over 35ish years of driving here.

Everything they do is a patch, not a future proof investment.

60 & 65 is still half the tiny-ass cloverleaf that was there since I was a kid. Sure, they made the leaves bigger, but they didn't actually fix the intersection. Meanwhile, they've "improved" the eastbound to southbound ramp like twice now because they fucking underbuilt it each time.
