You're talking about a pretty fancy interchange (4-5 levels high, free-flowing 90km/hr design speed for all directions) if you're talking about $300 Million...

Yep
I am!
I know that the 'usual' interchange come in around 25-30M, but some of those guargantuan interchanges in the states are easily 300M. I was merely exercising curiousity at the replacement value of ALL of the highway infrastructure in the US... and yes, there are some fancy interchanges!
Good point about replacement value being lower when the grading is done, but theres still the various structures, bridges, elevated viaducts, and yes, the 4-level multi-stack interchanges.
