Looks photo-shopped. The guide rail is blurry on the left hand side and the center line is split almost too perfectly.

Wow. That's insane. It is split in two directly between what look like double yellows.

Here's one about 60 miles from me:

US Highway 89

My guess would be that's the line between cut & fill.

Vertical curve program gone wrong?

I was thinking a utility right on centerline. It would be the sewer main in this area.

I would guess they built half the road at a time, keeping the other lane open for traffic. We have done that before but with better results.;-)

Look at the bottom of the picture, especially along the white line on the bottom left. There is a misaligned portion of another image, which does make me wonder about some sort of image manipulation? Could very well be the road was built in halves and cleaved off at the seam between the two sections though. Bizarre!!

I think that Dave Ingram has it. If you look at the cross slope of the right of way you can see that there is a break at the cut/fill line.

I don't agree that the white stripe in the bottom left corner is another image, I believe it's the fog line of the buckled pavement closer to the camera view point.
