I wish I had the time to upload and post the diagrams. I think I need to find a different way to work.

Work on diverging diamond at McCaslin/U.S. 36 could begin as early as next month.
Construction on unique interchange design could go on for nearly 2 years

If you like the way traffic flows on the McCaslin Boulevard bridge over U.S. 36, you might want to make a few extra trips over it in the next month or so.
Late next month, the major thoroughfare linking Superior to Louisville will begin a dramatic metamorphosis, transforming from a mundane highway crossing to the first diverging diamond interchange on the Front Range.

While it's being built, definitely. It sounds like a great plan in concept, but I have to see it in action - the diagram is way complicated.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Doesn't the use of colors help? The three stages depicted in pink, purple and orange definitely help to clarify.

It looks like traffic circles on drugs.

And people can't negotiate Schaffers Crossing? Lets hope they don't wander down the hill.
