Two alternative modes of transportation crossing.  Bike path and Kellogg Gondola ride.  In 1997, I went through Kellogg and rode the gondola lift.

Wallace  prided itself as being the town with the last stop light along I-90 between Seattle and Boston. 

Finally, the freeway was finished there.  Elevated onto a somewhat artistic overpass. 

Trail goes underneath. 

They had to be creative as the valley is quite narrow. 

Wallace has a lot of historic buildings from its mining heydays.  I-90 basically goes above that compact little town.

Looking west along bike path in Kellogg.

bike path under freeway in Wallace, ID.
Under I-90 in Wallace is used for many things.  Parking, the trail, there was a flee market, while I was in there.  Elevated freeway made the town quieter.

Recently, here in Bellingham, I heard someone give a lecture about city planning in Vancouver, BC.  He proudly proclaimed Vancouver as the "first stoplight" along I-5 (called 99 in Canada).  Vancouver has not allowed freeways to take over.
