I-5 is sort of interesting in Seattle. It cut the city in half, and was essentially built right through the middle of a lot of developed areas. Before it was put in, you could walk from First Hill to Downtown, but then they dropped a highway down the middle and had only a couple of roads cross it. It wasn't until recently that walking from First Hill to downtown could require a mile or two of extra walking to get to one of the streets that crossed the highway.
