^ If they try to move it to be farther from Exit 256, then it just becomes too close to Exit 258 per FHWA spacing guidelines. I don't really see why they need to keep Exit 257.

Because the city will raise a political stink in Bismarck if they remove it. It should probably go, but who knows when mayors start whining to the press.

Considering that the Business 94 (17th St SW) frontage road already ties in to the I-94 frontage road all the way to Bypass 52/281, NDDOT can (and should) be neighborly to Jamestown and not only remove Exit 257 but obliterate Business 94 from 8th Ave SW onward. Then, connect that north frontage road to the existing 17th St SW at 8th Ave SW, thus treating that north frontage road as the main road. If NDDOT has to majority-fund rebuilding that north frontage road with curb and gutter, so be it. NDDOT is doing its civic duty by getting rid of both a non-compliant (to modern standards) exit and resolving what has become an obsolete situation on Business 94 with its dual frontage roads AND two-lane main road.

I-94's exit 161 interchange in Bismarck will be rebuilt into a "modified SPUI" interchange where there will be two new loop ramps added to the existing interchange. This concept reminds me of the one that was recently modified to this exact style in West Fargo: https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8499675,-96.9077514,17z

I don't know what that is, but it's not a SPUI. Where's the single point?
