Like ya we cant afford much. But there's a value for money exercise to be done here. Hopefully they'll do that as part of their functional design work.
Interchanges are starting to happen here. And maybe if MTI stopped exclusively using WSP as their consultant, we'd be seeing some different things. Like instead of full on rebuilds costs 100's of millions, then can add a simple 2 lane bridge over the highway. That's not really that expensive. $10 million for the bridge.

You would still need to re-route traffic while the bridge is under construction - maybe a roundabout solves that issue by pre-building the re-routed traffic allowance that could then be used in the future when the bridge
never gets built....
