The interchange construction involves several major projects and will take approximately 12 months to complete. Upon completion, the interchange will include:
A bridge along Zora Street, that crosses over Main Street and the railroad tracks west of Main Street.
Exit ramps to connect north and south traffic along Main Street to the newly constructed east/west Zora Street and interchange.
A
3-lane road connecting Zora Street west of Main Street to Jasper
County's Lone Elm Road. Traffic going south on Lone Elm will then
connect to the intersection of North Schifferdecker Road and Belle
Center Road.
More efficient traffic flow moving
north/south on Highway 43 with on and off exit ramps to Zora Street. Two
traffic signals along Main Street, one at Zora Street and one at
Veterans Way, will be removed upon interchange completion.
Completion
is scheduled for May 2013. This interchange also serves as a first step
in connecting to the West Bypass, proposed to follow portions of County
Road 290 (JJ Highway).
