WY: I-80 exit issues

(1/3) > >>

rickmastfan67:
106 -> 107 (also effects US-30)
154 -> *154 (closed 2011 per wikipedia)
166 -> *166 (closed 2010 per wikipedia)
168 -> *168 (closed 2010 per wikipedia)

So I looked at those, and my first thought was "Wait why are those points there?". Then I looked at street view from '09, and lo and behold there were exits! Whoever at WyDOT thought multiple exits every two miles in the Red Desert was a good idea drunk too much whiskey the night before. I'll get these out the next time I do a highway data update.

froggie:
I recall a few exits like this from my 2005 trip.  I surmised that they existed due to lack of access from a local road grid (since I-80 in that area largely subsumed US 30's former alignment).  Some aerial imagery (plus GMSV) suggests the eastbound ramps at 166 and 168 were taken out by 2009 though.

yakra:
But if the infrastructure is already there, why not just leave it?
It's not like.. is there an overpass getting removed?

osu-lsu:
On Google Streetview, were the removed exits basically RIROs?
