Picadilly Road Interchange

This is a fascinating map.  Check out the original.  Construction will start in Spring 2022 and finish by Fall 2023.  The U.S. Dept of Transportation has already allocated $25 million towards construction of this.

Colfax Avenue will end at Picadilly.  Currently, westbound traffic on I-70 exits to the left on to Colfax.  In the new alignment, this exit will be closed and traffic will exit at Picadilly.  Also, the exit at Colfax/E-470/Gun Club will be totally redesigned.

Note the huge Amazon Fulfillment Center, which will be a heavy user of this interchange.

Also check out the cool Diverging Diamond simulation video:
