Rainbow Interchange
The Rainbow Interchange is one of two named interchanges in southeastern Florida (the other being Miami's Golden Glades Interchange). It is a four-level stack interchange near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The local media dubbed the interchange between Interstate 95 (State Road 9) and Interstate 595 (SR 862) Rainbow because each overpass bridge is painted in a different color.
==History==
While the eastern segment of I-595 was officially opened on October 21, 1989, and I-595 was given Interstate highway status, on June 11, 1990, the Rainbow Interchange was not completed until March 22, 1991 (cost of building the interchange: $121 million).
In 1990, while the interchange was still under construction, the ''Miami Herald'' ran a contest in which its readers were requested to submit names for the soon-to-be important connection between two Interstate highways. The winning name was the Lauderloop, an ironic choice as four-level stack interchanges do not incorporate loops in their design. The contest was a short-term joke as virtually nobody in the local media referred to "Lauderloop" in their articles and reports involving the interchange, choosing the Rainbow moniker instead.〔(History of Interstate 595 )〕 In 2002, the Florida Department of Transportation decided to repaint the interchange in bold colors.
