Grand entries into metro areas view freeways.

I don't have any pics but two that are dear to my heart are:

I-787 South from Troy, NY into Albany. There is a giant 4 level stack (which is probably 10 stories high) that acts as this great entry arch. Once you are through you can see all of downtown Albany.

The other is coming down Route 2 into Boston. There is a great ridge that the highway runs over and right when you hit the top you can see all of the city.

And another, from Edward Maglott (view from same area, Town Mtn/Beaucatcher Cut along 240 just E of downtown):

Not a metro, and not an interstate, but here's a middle-of-downtown shot from Boone NC, by 'digitaldefection'. The view is King St (US Hwy 421), looking WNW. I lived for a few years in a 2nd story walkup apt on the left, across from Mast General Store. A very densely constructed little town.

This is for Orlando, and is growing more and more impressive as time goes on...

Not the best shot but it looks way better at night. You can't see all of those power lines. I still say northbound 95 is the best view of Vegas.
