Eventually, the ground-level intersection where 290 and 71 intersect will be replaced with two new flyovers that will connect the two freeways alongside new frontage roads.
One of the latest changes is a new bridge and altered intersection at William Cannon Dr.

You got to suffer a little bit to get to the benefit.
