ST. GEORGE — Drivers hoping to use the new interchange between Interstate 10 and Pecue Lane will have to wait a few more weeks, highway officials said.

After opening a wider Pecue Lane last month, road crews had hoped to allow access to I-10 in mid-February. The Department of Transportation Development said the interchange will now open in early March, weather permitting.

The crossing features a "diverging diamond" interchange, in which traffic on Pecue Lane will appear to go in the wrong direction as it crosses over I-10. The design allows for quicker access onto and off of the interstate.

DOTD spokesman Rodney Mallett told WBRZ about the delay Friday.
