Honestly, the highway designs here are so piss-poor. Even Gateway isn't impressing me that much, especially since it's becoming evident that cutbacks are starting to show up.
I think using the terms "cutbacks" and "starting" is an understatement.

Somehow we have now essentially lost half of the entire project, yet with the same price tag....during an economical slump!
