Compare that to the Kicking Horse Canyon section of Hwy 1 in the BC Rockies...
~ $1 billion for ~ 25 km, which equates to around $40 million /km.

$1 million/km? No way is that cheap. I don't care how flat the land is. I'm not sure if your figures for Kicking Horse are right either (too high) but they had to build one enormously complicated bridge that towers about 400 ft. over a canyon. The bridge probably accounted for the majority of budget. BC's transportation department probably has all of the details on their website.
