From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A diverging diamond interchange is a rare form of diamond interchange in which the two directions of traffic on the non-freeway road cross to the opposite side on both sides of the bridge at the freeway.
The construction of a diverging diamond interchange in the US in Springfield, Missouri at the intersection of I-44 and MO-13 began the week of January 12, 2009 and opened on Sunday, June 21, 2009, making it the first of its kind to be opened in the United States. This interchange was a conversion of an existing standard diamond interchange.

Cornelius, North Carolina a suburb of Charlotte is currently under design to construct the first diverging diamond interchange with some modifications that will address future traffic volumes for many, many years. Finally, there is a local municipality taking a leadership role in properly planning infrastructure improvements matching future growth. I travel over I-77 where the diverging diamond interchange will be constructed and it will work fantastic.
