I would seriously ask or submit that idea haljackey to the study going on for the VMP southern extension http://london.ca/d.aspx?s=/Transport...h_Extension_Ea |
Not the clover-stack we were thinking of earlier in this thread. It was only two levels. Pic below.
Submit this to the planning staff? You know, maybe I will. It won't hurt anything, that's for sure.

True, but the VMP would be the one with left-exits in this design, outside of MTO's jurisdiction since they downloaded Highway 100 to the city. The underpassing route (401) has exits and entrances all on the right, and does not split up directions of travel on the freeway.

I agree though, cool looking interchange.

Thanks! Does the interchange that replaced it have a cool blue-coloured bridge? If so I remember it during my last travels in Detroit on the way to the airport.

Also did a video drive of the interchange if anyone's interested. View it here:
