| dbp:notes | Leads to Redstone Arsenal Gate 1. As of July 2017, the previous temporary ramp configuration and detours have been removed, along with all of the old ramps, and the interchange is in its final configuration, including the only underpass for the controlled access portion of the route. This significantly impacts the Martin Road traffic over the previous configuration that better moved the traffic through that area. Now the Martin Road traffic has to navigate a new signaled intersections which substantially slows the traffic flow over the original cloverleaf design which required no stopping.
