@superdevins: Yes! The choice of colors that the New Mexico Dept. of Transportation chose for the flyovers and ramps, really gives the "Big I" a nice aesthetic look.

Great video, Brent. I love driving through Albuquerque. I haven't been there since 2007. Thanks for posting this vid.

@XxlivinwithitxX: Haha, I feel ya. Yeah, Houston has some ridiculous-sized stacks. What I really like about the "Big I", however, is the unique colors chosen, and there's literally no other stacks like it, for hundreds of miles in all directions. In fact, it's far and away the most sprawling interchange along the entire 2,555 mile length of Interstate 40. Thanks for watching. :-)

I miss the views of Sandia from the interchanges. How I took thee for granted! Wonderfully done!

Nice work Brent, I remember the old Big I, BIG improvement! Safe travels my friend.

@Freewayjim: Yeah, driving thru the "Big I" never gets old for me. There's certainly nothing else like it along I-40, and I can't think of another stack interchange with the painted colors that you see at the "Big I." It's even better at night, when the entire interchange is lit up in rotating neon colors.

Top-notch video. One of my favorite interchanges in the U.S., very aesthetic.

@jaarmen3: Yes, I agree; the urban landscape and heavy traffic along both I-25 and I-40 is actually a refreshing change of pace, after hundreds of miles of isolation in all 4 directions.

Sick beats...as usual.

Cool video, I love the graphics! Definitely makes me miss ABQ.

@nickgeorge25: I'm definitely not the first to showcase an interchange tour, but this is definitely the first of its kind of the "Big I." Thanks for the feedback.

@Jacob1986: Oh yeah, I spent a good amount of time, stuck thru the 401/404 interchange. But hey, you guys do also have that sprawling monster that's also known as the 401/403/410 interchange, too. :)

@FreewayBrent: Yeah, those are all places I hope to check out someday. Thanks!

I'm loving this interchange more than many others, surpasses most interchanges making it the 4th coolest behing 1 high five dallas 2 marquette Milwaukee 3 future i-610/290/10 houston fighting with the following 5 i-10/410 San Antonio 6 springfield Washington DC. 7 other tht I may be missing so cool, awesome tour of thr big one :)

they have an interesting way of holding the signs up....(those curved posts)...never seen those before

@USRoads: Depends on funding, I think. I just saw a video of the proposed redesign; it's probably going to rank as one of the most impressive freeway-to-surface boulevard interchanges in the country, when it's all said and done.

@ConnorAlves: No problem at all! Feel free to share it with all of your friends and family who live in ABQ.

Excellent work, definitely a unique interchange, really enjoyed the tour of it

@IsoscelesKramer: Man, I totally regret not making the effort to record the most interesting parts of ABQ. I was only in town for about 18 hours (mainly to sleep, and then I woke up late and recorded the 2 freeways thru town). ABQ is pretty interesting, if you know where to look (mainly along Central Avenue, there is Nob Hill, the University District and Downtown, all lively areas with character).

@haljackey: I do find it to be a tad bit odd that Ontario invests so heavily on super-wide freeways, but has a relative lack of stack interchanges to accommodate both the large number of lanes and the high traffic volumes. I'm not exactly sure where ABQ gets its water from. The local mountains do get a pretty heavy dose of both snow and rain during the winter months; perhaps the city gets a large amount of runoff from the local Sandia Mountain range. Perhaps someone from ABQ can answer.

@edgexxi: I never did get a chance to drive the old interchange. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find some old pictures of it, by any chance? Thanks for watching!

@ABQCVB: Very true, indeed! NMDOT did a wonderful job at reconstructing the Big I; it is not only efficient in handling the high traffic volumes, but it is also one of the most aesthetically pleasing an unique looking interchanges in the country. Also love how the interchange is lit up at night in a rotating display of neon colors. Thanks for watching!

great vid and i like tiesto alot...

@FreewayBrent It's a lot larger than the infamous "Malfunction Junction" in Birmingham, AL.

I’ve been to Albuquerque New Mexico.

@Noticias23NBoca: Hey, thanks! I've never seen your KZfaq name before; I take it that you just subscribed recently?

@atworkstation: Did FreewayJim feature the "Malfunction Junction" in his Birmingham freeway tour video??

@FreewayBrent It's very rare to see the 401/404 interchange to be congestion free. Whoever designed it or thinks it's adequate should be shot. I agree he 401/403/410 is a monster, that part of the city is really well done. I really like your videos , very well done. Do you do alot of traveling for work? and what kind of camera do you use?

@FreewayBrent Actually Bryant5493 has the malfucntion junction video.

@ScrewdUPClickV2: Haha, yes. I'm glad the owners of the place that I "knocked out 2 birds w/one stone" didn't know, though.

I think the next big interchange to get redone in this area is I-25/Paseo Del Norte, yes .....?

Excellent work! I liked seeing the mountains in the distance so often. Do you plan on doing any street tours of ABQ?

@LucidRealityChild: You probably saw Interstate 10, which is not all that interesting thru the state of New Mexico, at least in my humble opinion.

@downlow228: Tiesto is da ish!

seems like Toronto needs to learn from Albuquerque, our traffic is horrible (401/404 interchange)
