Rogers Partners Architects, the firm who designed the Park over GA 400, is one of the world's leading architecture and urban design firms. I have to believe they considered all of the options with respect to coverage over 400 vs cost.

I work in industrial transportation development, mainly railroads.

I guess I'm questioning mainly WTF that egg thing south of Peachtree Street is, why it's in the project, why it warrants a grade-separated crossing of Peachtree Street, and what the costs of that aspect of the project are versus a Klyde Warren type of solution.

These aren't questions of design, they're questions of project scope and priorities. And you don't need to have any specific expertise to ask them.
