ROANOKE, Va. – Plans are in place for a major traffic pattern change near Tanglewood Mall.
Rather than the current mess of lights and ramps that get backed up on a daily basis, a diverging-diamond interchange is going to be installed at the intersection of Electric Road and U.S. 220.
The Commonwealth Transportation Board approved spending $12.5 million of the project's $17.5 million budget Wednesday.
However, don't get your hopes of for this project to be completed anytime soon.
Construction isn't slated to begin until 2028. Â
This interchange style is what was installed at the intersection of Valley View Boulevard and Interstate 581.
