Vermont’s Diverging Diamond Finally Live | Montpelier News

Vermont’s long-awaited diverging diamond interchange at I-89 Exit 16 is now live—yes, you drive on the left for a bit—and it’s already smoothing traffic with zero major incidents on opening day. Planned since 2012 and built after years of prep and public education (including a state fair driving simulator), this bold design aims to slash crashes and congestion. Officials are monitoring closely, especially during rush hour, and may adjust light timing. Crews will finish landscaping next spring, but the big win? Safer, smoother travel for drivers who’ve been waiting since 2012. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
