Nearly four years after plans for a complete redesign of the East Norwalk Interstate 95 exchange, the state continues to study whether the area should be converted into Connecticut’s first “diamond intersection.” “A traffic study is ongoing to determine if a diverging diamond is a feasible alternative in the area, and what other potential alternatives may improve safety and alleviate traffic,” DOT spokesperson Josh Morgan said. “A timeline for this potential project is still being developed.” The diverging diamond interchange would involve both directions of traffic briefly crossing over to the opposite side of the road between the on- and off-ramps. The proposed design would eliminate the need for drivers to cross oncoming traffic, theoretically resulting in less bottlenecking at the intersection. “This project is currently in the concept stage and options are being evaluated,” Fesenmeyer said, according to the meeting minutes.
