Expressway Model

[airport1246]

In my usual ambitious state, I am getting ready to add I-290 to my layout. It will be 3 lanes in each direction, and I will model the portion where it crosses the river, by the old post office. What do you recommend for making the road surface, and lane markings? How about exit ramps and signs? Thanks in advance.

Styrene sheet for the road, and ramps, paint, or decal lane markings. At least that's my plan for when I add I-15 to my layout.

Here's an awesome site that lets you create your own highway / road signs and print them out ....

Great way to replicate original signs or adjust the names, directions or mileage to suit your situation !
