My favorite urban freeways are the Katy freeway in Houston, the LBJ in Dallas, and the Harbor Freeway in LA.

Harbor Freeway among those three, but my vote would go to the San Diego Freeway (I-405)

I chose these because they are the three biggest and baddest freeways in the US.

The 405 is the busiest freeway in the entire country, 110 is right behind it though

405 might be busiest but it is not the biggest in terms of infrastructure.

Since there's constant traffic on both Katy Freeway and the 10 in LA (aka Harbor Freeway) I will go with LBJ just because none of these routes are scenic at all and the goal is always just "how can i get off fastest" and LBJ seems to have the least traffic by far.

Harbor Freeway is 110, 10 is the Santa Monica Freeway west of downtown and the San Bernardino Freeway east of downtown

And from there you could take the 10 all the way to Jacksonville, FL. I was shocked when I first found that out, but not so much anymore knowing that multiple interstates do the very same thing. I guess I just always thought of the 10 strictly as SoCal freeway at first.

With the infrastructure improvements made to LBJ Freeway that would be hard to beat.

The Downtown Connector in Atlanta is very impressive with the high rises on both sides.

Interstate 15 is awesome in Las Vegas as it parallels the strip and goes past all the major resorts hotels.

The waterfront viaduct in Seattle (great views) was pretty cool until it was demolished recently.
