I-75 @ CR 7958/WINDY HILL RD - DIVERGING DIAMOND INTERCHANGE

complete

Several alternatives were studied, two of which included a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) configuration. The DDI configuration crosses the traffic flow on either side of the interstate eliminating the left-turn phases at the traffic signals. Traffic flow is improved without the addition of extra lanes and without reconstructing the existing bridge over the interstate. The purpose for improvements to the Windy Hill Road interchange is to address the primary needs of improved traffic congestion and better traffic flow management, improve mobility options for the traveling public, and provide safer travel conditions for motorist and pedestrians. Sidewalks would also be constructed on both sides of Windy Hill Road at the approaches to the bridge over I-75 and be provided in the center median area of the DDI.
