The consented Melling interchange design was a diamond interchange at SH2 south of the existing intersection, which linked to the intersection at Queens Drive and Rutherford Street via the new Melling River Bridge.  

The revised concept is a partial cloverleaf design and uses loop ramps for traffic coming off the state highway which enables the traffic joining the state highway to run on the same signal phase. These intersections are beneficial when needing to accommodate a high volume of conflicting right hand turn movements.
