This is a detailed report on the development and impact of expressway systems in several U.S. cities, with a particular focus on Atlanta. It covers the historical context of Atlanta's rebuilding and the progress made in constructing expressways, the challenges and benefits of building expressways, including the impact on traffic, property values, and urban development, the experiences and opinions of local residents and workers regarding the expressways, and the technical aspects of expressway design, such as interchanges and access ramps, and their effects on the city's infrastructure. Note: Six interstate highways—I-20, I-75, I-85, I-285, I-575, and I-675—help metropolitan Atlanta residents get where they need to go. Since their construction in the 1960s and 1970s, Atlanta’s interstate highways have helped fuel urban sprawl, first around the northern I-285 perimeter and Interstates 75 and 85 north of the city. • 0:28: Introduction to the report on expressways in Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and Atlanta. • 0:40: Russ Hod introduces the topic and cities covered. • 0:48: Focus on Atlanta's expressway system. • 1:02: Historical context of Atlanta's rebuilding after General Sherman's march. • 1:13: Progress in widening streets and building expressways in Atlanta. • 1:28: Current status: 20 miles of expressways in use. • 1:45: Overview of Downtown Atlanta's street system. • 2:09: Introduction of Mayor William B.
