"Gwinnett County is continuing the construction of converting the existing Pleasant Hill Road bridge over I-85 into a Diverging Diamond Interchange, or DDI. The DDI’s innovative design relieves congestion, improves safety and is less expensive than replacing the bridge. A DDI shifts traffic to the opposite side of the road, making left turns onto the interstate easier and improving the flow of traffic across the bridge."
