Can Traffic Be Beautiful?

Is it holiday shopping? Road closures? I don't know, but traffic seems to be getting more and more congested in Houston.
However, if you found yourself in wall-to-wall traffic along Interstate 69 (formerly US-59)... you might have noticed some colorful art amongst the sea of grey.
We take a look back at how that project came to life earlier this year. Watch the video above to follow the beautification project from conception to construction.
The first step in the journey: Re-interpreting freeways as public space.
The project was led by Natalia Beard and Kinder Baumgardner of SWA Group, a landscape architecture company. It was commissioned by Houston First Corporation.
