The example given a long time ago on this thread was from South Korea where a similar viaduct removal did not result in congestion elsewhere. It is counter-intuitive but the assumption from planners is that the car owners simply adjust either by re-routing, re-timing or not driving. Fair enough assumption when the opposite is the case which is that when congestion is solved by adding new roads they soon become congested as traffic expands to fill the availability.
