Not quite as far out as some of the stuff in this thread but in the 60s-70s the plan for the I-10 going through Central Phoenix was to put the freeway on 100 foot high stilts. Then to get on and off the freeway cars would have to drive around on these huge looping 'heliocoils."

Of course the renderings show parks and active pedestrian life under the freeways which just seems insane. They likely would've devolved into ugly, polluted, noisy, forgotten places.
