This is real and not Photoshop. I saw it myself last year while on a train in Osaka. I didn't know it was an expressway though. From the angle on the train I couldn't see cars and thought perhaps it was some kind of train station. (I would not have guessed an expressway.)

You should file this under "only in japan"
That's pretty awesome.

There's a place in New York where the highway goes directly underneath some apartment buildings as well.

Doesn't look nearly as cool though.
