Prior to construction, the Interchange was already used by more than 50,000 vehicles a day. The clearance beneath the existing overpass was a low 4.5 metres which forced heavy road vehicles to detour from the Bruce Highway.
The project built a new, higher overpass over the Highway including pedestrian path and cyclist lane, lengthened and straightened the four on and off-ramps, improved the intersections with local roads as well as installed pedestrian and cycling facilities. The overpass construction was completed in 2015.
