I totally get what you are saying, and they will be surprised by it seeing how it will be 25km or so stretch of Highway with a single light, but I don’t think the roundabout is the answer. Such an investment will only postpone the inevitable interchange even further. Best just to ish the interchange now. Even with this intermediate solution being added it is very low investment (and a percaentage or two of this overall program) so an interchange is still within a ten year scope.
