Agreed. Cons are that this route adds a lot of distance traveled, increasing gas cost and vehicle wear & tear over time. Pros: Save a buck each way for the bridge, avoid constant stops and starts in traffic and with traffic lights, avoid more stressful driving in traffic, lane changes etc. The usefulness will come during rush hour, when the new highway spreads out the traffic, making other routes more efficient.
