The Providence one is interesting, because the 2013 photo shows a substantial improvement---when I-195 was laid out, it made a crazy-ass loop through downtown (and bisecting some historic neighbourhoods) before heading east. About ten years ago they finally said, "this is dumb," and started planning for it to join I-95 further south. In the 2013 photo here, you can see the scars from where 195 used to be---it's still recovering.

If the "after" photo of Providence were from, say, 2003, the change would be even more dramatic.
