Alright Knoxville commuters: Think rush hour traffic on I-40 is bad now? Imagine if there were only four lanes like the above I-40 photo from the 1960s.
Can you can guess which famous Knoxville exit is pictured?
Brian Parton’s Flickr photos of I-40 circa 1960 have long been some of my favorites; however, recently flight paramedic, Rick Harring, has sweetened the deal.
Taking advantage of some spare moments in the sky during April of this year, Rick snapped current shots of I-40 and combined them with Parton’s archival scans. The result is a “then and now” look at one of Knoxville’s major thoroughfares.
