I think that's a good idea, actually. It could introduce a lot of new route possibilities that would be more useful to the motorist and would balance out the traffic flow at the same time.

Sorry, I couldn't help but think of The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy here. "What do you mean 'why has it got to be built'? It's a bypass! You've got to build bypasses!"
