The reconstruction of I-440 costs $152.9m
It is disruptive of a major motorist corridor for more than a year.
A high-capacity transit corridor would cost ~$175m and have a similar temporary effect on roadways.
This would be enough to start a frequent transit network, too.

So I-440 is a good exercise in perspective in costs and what we’re willing to tolerate in terms of disruption.
And by the way: 440 is legally inaccessible to pedestrians and cyclists and has no access points. So it literally only induces demand for more cars on our roadways.
This is why #completestreets are such an important (and inexpensive!) investment on local roads.
