Three years? They've been working on this thing on and off for over 10 years.

Now it's two fly-over ramps accented with a pair of Mikey Mouse ears.

Got to drive on this interchange a lot over the past few days. Flyover ramps are smooth. Merging works well. I like it!

Technically it still isn’t done lol there’s another phase, albeit much smaller and less disruptive, planned for 2023.

Eventually they're going to need to get rid of at least one of those Mickey Mouse ears cloverleaf loops (replacing it with another fly-over ramp). Weaving issues are going to be a bitch there.

Not so bad as they could be as the weaves are on the C/D and not the main lanes.
