An engineer once told me that a Joyce I540 exit would never happen because the interstate system requires at least 1 mile between exits. He said there is less than 2 miles between the Fayetteville Business exit and the Johnson exit, leaving no room for a Joyce exit. Google Maps has the distance very close to 2 miles.
I don't know if any of this is true, but I always saw a Joyce exit as an obvious solution and always wondered why it hadn't been built. Anyone know for certain?
If it is true, the best solution would be to build an access road (which are common everywhere except here) in between the Business and Johnson exits with access to Joyce and Van Asche. That huge red mound of dirt in Johnson might make that difficult.
