Traffic volumes continue to grow, prompting the redesign of the interchange to safely accommodate more drivers.
Redesigning the intersection will involve replacing bridges, realigning on- and off-ramps, providing continued access for cyclists and pedestrians, and constructing capacity for planned and possible expansion. The new design will be a single-point urban interchange (SPUI).

By using one signal, rather than two signals, to control movements, the SPUI design will likely be more efficient and decrease travel times. This design will achieve the efficiencies of a SPUI interchange with excellent compatibility with future expansion for an estimated $39 million.
The highway will still shift to the west and pass under I-90. Ramps will meet at a single point just north of the interstate. Eastbound ramps will pass underneath the interstate to connect with the highway. The westbound off-ramp will be elongated and will not curve.
Because the interchange will be shifted north, there will be fewer impacts to the local system. The signal currently controlling the Ross Point Road, Seltice Way, ID-41 and I-90 intersection will be removed and replaced with a stop sign at Ross Point Road. After being shifted, the highway will connect with Seltice Way at Herborn Place and be controlled with a signal.
After construction, the Centennial Trail will likely pass underneath the interstate and continue north. A connection to the neighborhood south of Seltice Way will be constructed.

Expected changes to the intersection include:
