An Innovative Design
The conventional diamond interchange at I-435 and Front Street has been redesigned and will be reconstructed as a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI). The new DDI will accommodate more traffic and move it faster, decrease congestion, and increase safety. The most noticeable difference between the new interchange and the old is that Front Street will be improved as a pair of one-way streets that cross at two signalized intersections. Sometimes called a crossing diamond interchange, this revolutionary design is unlike any in North America and will be one of only two in the world. Construction of the I-435/Front Street DDI is anticipated to begin in 2008.
