Glad they are redoing that interchange. I always found the 896 SB to 95 NB (which is really EB here) movement to be odd.

It's just a normal cloverleaf.  The only odd part was the width of the ramp where the toll plaza formerly was located.

I forgot about the toll plaza, but it has been 45 years.

896 NB to 95 SB, meanwhile, is an absolute pain.

Using the shunpike route.  Definitely losing toll revenue with this detour.

It's overnight. Low volume time period, so low loss. Just part of the cost of construction.

And you're always free (pun) to go that way if you want.

I don't know if this has been discussed already, but when did Delaware steal Maryland's "lane ends" signs? Just noticed it on I-95 southbound (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7000444,-75.6106016,3a,41.4y,245.21h,87.06t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sPIy_G8fLQIx-yfcCsN0zZg!2e0!5s20230901T000000!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) this past weekend.

Probably 20+ years ago. They have them scattered around.

The only thing missing is the "Merge Left" or "Merge Right" sign underneath

Delaware "steals" things like that from neighboring states, but doesn't really have a statewide pattern with signage.  (It does have too many carbon-copy signs.  I feel sorry for anyone trying to follow US 202.)

I've also noticed that certain exit tabs (such as these on I-95 NB) look Maryland-like with shoving "EXIT" all the way left and the ## all the way right within the tab.

On the subject of Delaware signage, DelDOT's gotten creative again with new signs at the intersection of Cave Neck Road and SR 1. The signs sort of follow the same design vein as the custom signs made for the Casho Mill Road underpass in Newark.

DelDOT had that sense of humor re signage years before the witty messageboard messages.  Who else remembers the sign at US 13 and Port Penn Road facing southbound 13 traffic, that said "[Silhouette of duck] [13 shield] Traffic/[picture of monkey swinging on vine] Left to [DE 9 shield]"?  I.e., a rebus that said "Duck 13 traffic/Swing left to Rt. 9" (with yellow "No Trucks" sign beneath).  This of course, was before the DE 1 superhighway.

The plans can be seen here (https://www.kentonroadimprovements.com/).  Nothing major in regard to Travel Mapping, but there will be a bunch of detours during construction (scheduled to start in March of this year).
