Starting at 7 a.m. on Saturday, drivers on Courthouse Road at the interchange over Interstate 95 in Stafford, Va. will be directed onto the opposite side of the road.

So first, you will cross over into what could look like oncoming traffic, and then continue onto a bridge over a highway. Just when you thought driving in the region couldn’t get any more terrifying.

The permanent new layout, known as a “diverging diamond” interchange, is designed to eliminate left turns. Rather than waiting for a left-turn signal, eastbound drivers trying to get on I-95 North will bear straight onto the left side of the overpass. But for an unsuspecting driver, this new change might look like heading straight toward oncoming traffic. Trippy, right?

The design has been implemented in other states across the country over the past several years, and has actually proved pretty successful in reducing accidents at intersections. As Citylab wrote, “Where two, two-lane roadways intersect, drivers have 32 separate opportunities to collide into each other. In a [diverging diamond interchange], there are only 14.”

According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, traffic on Courthouse Road will be stopped for 15 to 30 minutes around 7 a.m. on Saturday while crews put concrete barriers in place to make the new design clear to drivers. LED lights will also be indicating the correct path to follow.

Project manager at VDOT Beau Hoyt told WTOP that school bus drivers, firefighters, and the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office have had dry runs and briefings to avoid any catastrophes next week.

Hoyt also suggested that commuters who rely on the interchange might want to make a special trip to the new design this weekend to familiarize themselves with the layout in the daylight before attempting to navigate the exit on Monday morning.

You can also watch VDOT’s animated video of how the interchange will work, but no promises that the switch onto the opposite road won’t be just a bit unsettling at first.

The diverging diamond is a part of VDOT’s $195 million project to reduce congestion in Stafford County.
