Let me say thanks to Rich for the referal :-)
Complicated road designs are something I'm just starting to break into (it's
getting all the tile). My last MOC
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1108100) was my first try at a
merge. Granted, I live in an area (Southern Cal.) with concrete road structrues
all over, I don't think I've ever seen one like mine. I must admit, the clover
leaf idea would be quite a challenge (think- curved AND sloped!).
Did you catch this from SCLTC?

I remembered they made a dam in one of their layouts back in '02 but the only
good picture I could find is this-
