I just saw the plans for the 59 and 101 interchange. (

I don't like it.
#1 The DeVries intersection is fine, you can only turn right, anyway, so I don't think that will be an issue.
#2 The roads are mostly realigned, and they don't have to be. It seems as if the traffic eastbound to northbound is huge, and it isn't.
#3 Six lanes! Why would they waste money on six lanes here, while there are many highways that need to be four lanes, and roads that have lots of traffic, and need more lanes. Only to change to four lanes a little bit out. I want to know if there is anyone here who would rather have six lanes and a signal at 202, than an interchange at 202, and four lanes on 101, and 59.
EDIT: forgot to mention that it looks like the Fargo interstate interchange. Six lanes, and a three-stack overpass, without the traffic.
