Oklahoma City plans to re-route an interstate highway away from downtown :

In Oklahoma City, the interstate will be moved five blocks from downtown to an old railroad line.

The new 10-lane highway, expected to carry 120,000 vehicles daily, will be placed in a trench so deep that city streets can run atop it, as if the highway weren't there.

The old highway will be converted into a tree-lined boulevard city officials hope will become Oklahoma...
