The city still owns a bunch of the land and leases it, I believe. Same deal along Bishop Grandin. As an example, the Old Navy and the parking lot to the north at Bishop and St. Mary's is all on city-owned "future interchange" land.

Similar topic, is the Wenzel access at 59 still open? Or is traffic directed own to Birds Hill Rd?

Completely closed off, which is great. The mistake was not building an interchange at Birds Hill Road. Couldn't have added more than 30ish million to a $200+ million project.
