Given the rate they're going on it they could easily start building the missing interchanges now and still have them done at the same time as the rest of the project. Anyone who says going P3 is a mistake on roads hasn't been paying attention to the huge difference in progress on the government built vs. P3 built sections of 201 in Calgary and 216 in Edmonton.

I know in my neighborhood (Mayland Heights) trucks are prohibited on 19 St except for local delivery. I'm sure it can be done elsewhere, especially where there is a new 4 lane highway to accept re-routed traffic.
