Clermont, Fl: US 27/SR 50 interchange modifications

[Brian556]

Google Map Satellite View was recently updated showing this construction. The thing I noticed is that there is no ramp from NB US 27 to EB SR 50, and there is no room for one. How is this movement going to be set up? The only possibility is having traffic use Grand Highway to make the connection, but that would be kinda odd.

Side note/question: Is Grand Highway a former state highway alignment?

Grand Highway will be used as the connection for the missing movement.

The ramp going directly into Grand Highway has already been built.

I don't think Grand Highway was ever a state road. It appears on 1941 aerials but wasn't in any of the definitions through 1939.

I'm wondering why the cloverleaf was necessary. Granted I don't live in the area, but the old configuration looked like a good fit for the location/conditions. The only benefit that I can see is that is eliminates the need for signals at this location.
