Just don’t understand how there was enough pressure to do this. That looks like hydraulic damage.

>>I lived in Chicago of the North and am here to tell the tale

I lived in Waukegan, North of the Chicago of the North. I even had to live in one of the “Projects” in Waukegan. I survived.

Concrete expands in all direction simultaneously. If that is the center lane, then it just had nowhere to go but up...................................

Thay apparently did not believe in ‘expansions joints’.

I read that a gas line underneath may be the cause- that would be different than thermal expansion, if that is the case

OH, SHIT!!! I’m going to the annual NRA convention in downtown Atlanta starting on April 27 and was planning to take I 20 into downtown Atlanta. President Trump is going to speak there. Woe, oh woe is me.

But what’s the pressure of the weight of the concrete? I’d expect the gas either to stop, or to work its way (eventually) to the sides.

Maybe a spark from a motorcycle exhaust.

They need to check for survivors on the side of the road up to 100 yards away!..........

If lit that would be a geyser of flame alright. Maybe it was until the gas company shut off that pipe.

Where are you coming from? THAT is east of the city.

Just take 285 around til you can get on 75/85.

10:1 it wasn’t local rednecks who built the road. More likely a contractor from up north. See them all the time doing interstate work around here.
