No, the Circle project includes reconstruction of I-290 as far east as the west edge of Canal, including the offramps at Canal.
Unfortunately this does not include any streetscaping, plaza space, etc under the viaduct but the new piers will be somewhat decorative and there will be new lighting installed that should make the area beneath the highway more inviting at night.
