Williamsburg Way will become an interchange, along with PD/McKee Road, as part of the Verona Road project, between 2017 and 2019. Until then, the underpass under Verona Road to the north of Williamsburg Way remains available.
I don't remember which, but as Spoke/Sprocket is built, the path goes either over or under the new road (Steve will remember for sure). The current intersection of the private road north of Spoke/Sprocket and the Cannonball will probably stay at grade until a later part of the plan.
