This is the entire point of projects to put freeways in tunnels.

Perhaps in the future it will be less expensive to drill tunnels! Looking at how rapidly automation is advancing, it is highly likely.

But due to the currently high cost of construction projects, there is a lot of infrastructure that must be augmented rather than replaced.

On the other hand, look at something like the Cross Bronx Expressway.

A neighborhood torn apart 60 years ago....is still torn apart.

Do you know if the residential/commercial developments around the tunnel were built at the same time as the roadway? New transportation infrastructure is much easier to integrate into new urban developments, but it would be nice to see something done in existing communities.
