The second diverging diamond exit of three for the Cedar Rapids area opened Monday, KCRG reports.
The Tower Terrace Road exit on the far north side of the metro has been open a while. The airport exit on the far south side is under construction.
Coming south from the new Boyson onramp, the concrete abruptly ends as space that was planned for three lanes cuts to two. To get a full six lanes (three in both directions), either the Emmons Street bridge has to be replaced or it’s going to be a really tight squeeze. Replacement of the bridge is not in the five-year plan.
