    Well, one possible solution can be found in Brightline’s attempt to build a high speed rail between LA and Vegas. 96% of it is in the I-15 highway median. (Source: https://www.brightlinewest.com/overview/project)

    Yes, I know that won’t work everywhere and there isn’t always a highway median. I’m just pointing this out as one situation in which someone does have a (planned) solution to the problem of a highway already being there.

    Also, we expand highways on a regular basis in the United States, and that often means demolishing things next to them. Perhaps there are alternative uses for that space?
