New I-244 Bridge

[BKDotCom]

It's too bad that we didnt take the opportunity to fix the US75 to I244 interchange at 1st St while we were "re-habbing" the IDL. In all directions there is insufficent merge lane length, the interchange is not intuitive and there are consistant backups especially US75 South to I244 westbound

and the signage sucks

no mention of HWY 51 / BA-expressway

Exit 6B signage

send HWY-51 traffic on a detour without adequate signage to begin with.

HWY51/BA traffic is directed to go the other way around the IDL, when construction isn't currently happening.

HWY51/BA traffic is directed to go the other way around the IDL, when construction isn't currently happening.

Which assumes 2 things:
a) no construction
b) your not starting downtown and are wanting to bypass downtown

Hypothetical:   I'm downtown in the Brady district or Driller's game and would like to get home (41st & Harvard).
There are 6 or 8ish onramps to the IDL from downtown.

• * take 244 E on N Detroit seems the obvious answer..  if I'm a local and know to take the Okmulgee exit (that has "closed" plastered over it)
• * Cincinnati all the way across downtown and either get on from Cincinnati or 8th St (both signs say hwy-51 / BA)
• * The confusing head west 1st street onramp and go counter-clockwise thing
• * Cheyenne to the 13th street onramp (marked as hwy-51 / BA)
• * 13th and Denver (marked as hyw-51 / BA)
