The Findlay Connector by itself was projected to get 12000 daily vehicles, before any other segments were built. It has gotten about 4500. Sure it will get a few more if we spend billions more to add more segments, but what this shows is the original usage prediction models used to justify this project are irredeemably broken.

We've got existing highways to get around. If it isn't rush hour, I-376 is going to be faster for most people trying to cross east/west (and it doesn't have a toll). That explains the focus on commuter traffic--outside of commuter times, there is going to be very little advantage to using this road.

Of course at the end of the day, a few people would in fact benefit for one reason or another. Just not nearly enough to justify the massive construction cost and destruction of land value.
