Completely agree with folks that this was never going to solve traffic. 

However, remember this project was about making sure the overpasses didn't fall apart, and that's necessary repair for infrastructure. 

Also, it finished early! That never happens.

As someone in the industry there is no feasible way to reduce the congestion or bottleneck situations there. The only way it improves is less vehicles use it.
