I mean I suppose one could argue that it technically maybe does, given that you need to use the frontage roads to get on or off the highway? The highways with frontage roads here in Huntsville are signed "as" the highway itself when approaching from a side street, though signs on the frontage road will (usually) point drivers onto the mainline for the highway.

it just makes it very confusing for out of towners or people unfamiliar with the area with the way that it was signed now. It implies that taking the exit is how to continue on 141

In Florida, the frontage roads would have a separate (although unsigned) designation of SR-141F.

Email them about removing the shield. They listen.

~32.5 miles of I-16 (from west of SR 67 to I-95) will be widened to three lanes. To begin construction in 2027.

Nice, Drove on IH 16 for about 20 miles west of IH 95. That area used to be desolate. Now its all suburbs. The widening tells me that people and jobs have moved to that area in the last 25 years...

The new southbound I-285 to eastbound I-20 flyover is open. I've posted photos and commentary at Peach State Roads, Southeast Roads, and there is no way that's MUTCD compliant (yes, there are issues) on Facebook. There's a windshield video of it at Peach State Roads, too.

It'll be a while for the other flyover, from westbound 20 to westbound 285. There's still a form on the last hammerhead bent and it doesn't have its hammerhead yet. A lot of the beams and girders have been set, though.

Yesterday I drove from NW Georgia down US 27 to Columbus. The four lane road is good outside of Rome and Carrollton. However just north of Lagrange there is a sharp curve. It looks like there was a planned extension to I 185 that was never built. Instead I had  to drive through Lagrange before catching 185 near Pine Mountain.

I feel failure to build a connector from US 27 to 185 is a gap in the corridor was a mistake. South of Columbus US 27 is four lanes all the way to the FL line, and north of Lagrange it's four lanes to Tennessee with the exception of Summerville. I see I 185 as part of the US 27 corridor in West GA.

They couldn't have gone an extra 4 miles, tied directly to the stub ramps at I-185 / I-85, and built the route as a limited access highway?

This will construct a 4 lane boulevard (coming off of dozens of miles of 65 mph highway) and then transition to a two-lane "bypass" that dumps into a commercialized area before getting on I-85, to then back track north to reach I-185.

Cheap out.

$5 says it's because they don't want to also have to build more ramps at I-85/I-185.
