High Five Interchange, Five-level highway interchange in Dallas, United States
The High Five Interchange connects Interstate 635 and U.S. Highway 75 through a multi-level system of stacked roadways. The structure uses numerous bridges arranged at different heights to separate traffic flows across multiple directions.
The interchange opened in 2005, replacing an older three-level structure that frequently experienced traffic congestion. This transformation significantly expanded the area's capacity to handle vehicle movement.
The name comes from the five raised roadways that resemble a celebratory hand gesture. Locals have adopted it as a symbol of the city's engineering ambition and modern infrastructure.
The site is best viewed from ground level via a public pedestrian and cycling trail that runs underneath the entire structure. This path offers visitors a unique perspective on the engineering from below.
A hiking and biking trail called the Cottonwood Trail was built beneath all levels of the structure, integrating recreation into what might otherwise be purely functional infrastructure. This path demonstrates how modern transport projects can include community benefits.
