Earlier studies showed widening all the way to 44 and were leaning towards a diverging diamond interchange at the Turnpike.

Lots of detail here:

Great! What better way to deal with the impact of signals that stop the flow of traffic than by modifying the intersection to entirely remove the possibility of traffic flow down 301. With the diverging-diamond intersection, either northbound 301 traffic flows OR southbound 301 traffic flows but NEVER BOTH and generally, NO 301 traffic flows. That design prioritizes traffic exiting the Turnpike at the expense of traffic traveling on 301.
