Title: NB-11/NB-15 interchange reconfiguration
Post by: Stephane Dumas on January 09, 2018, 05:23:57 PM
I spotted that video showing the completion of the reconfiguration of NB-11/NB-15 interchange near Shediac.

Time to put together an update for TravelMapping.

11:
New western alignment, new Exit 1, new terminus at NB15. Piece of cake.

15:
How is the new left exit for NB11 signed?
Is the existing cloverleaf (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.209485&lon=-64.566865&zoom=15) at NB132 / Old NB15 still 31A/B?

132:
Is the north end still at the NB15 cloverleaf (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.209485&lon=-64.566865&zoom=15)?
OSM & Google show it continuing north to the roundabout.

133:
I assume it still takes the 90° turn at Main & Hanington. Correct?
Is the new roadway west of the corner (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.217257&lon=-64.565003&zoom=15) that connects to the roundabout in fact an extension of Main St, as Google claims?
(If unknown, not a deal-breaker; I can name the waypoint after Cornwall Rd instead.)
Edit: Or does it get straightened out, to travel west to the new Exit 1?

While I suppose it's possible that:
- NB133 could have its 90° bend straightened out and be extended W to the new Exit 1, and
- NB132 could be extended N thru the roundabout, along the new extension of Main St, and N along that N/S leg of existing NB133...
That's probably just the Fictional-loving roadgeek in me talking.
Multiplexes are rare in NB, so 132/133 may not happen. The way I've seen recent freeway upgrades shake out, existing designations are likely to stay put, with some unnumbered roads along the former alignments.

Looking through a couple skyscraperpage (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=175670) threads (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=198656) for relevant info; any knowledge is appreciated.

Edit: One possibility I considered was NB133 getting straightened out (which may actually be happening) (https://shediac.ca/images/pdf/Projets_capitaux/Projets_capitaux_2016_Pancartes_finales_journ%C3%A9e_portes_ouvertes_Page_7.jpg), with NB132 just staying put...
Or, OSM could be right about 132... Eh!  :coffee:
