- Spaghetti Junction is the name given to the intersection of Interstates 85 and 285, along with lesser roads, in Atlanta. The Interstate Highway System was developed under U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower in the late 1950s. Lucius D. Clay, a Marietta native, was the principal architect of the system, designing its route of more than 46,000 miles.
