You make it sound like they haven't built interchanges, freeways and expressways around the world for the past 30 years. The facts soundly suggest otherwise, across North America, Europe and Asia. There is no cost savings maintaining an inefficient roadway system when your economy is based on the transportation of goods and people. Even the third world has figured out this most simple reality.

Winnipeg is now reaching the critical mass where significant upgrades to its roadway system is absolutely nessesary to reach its potencial or face the reality that Winnipeg will be passed by, in terms of being a realivant centre of global trade. The governments of Manitoba and Canada have realized this fact and is now looking at playing catchup for decades of poor decision making and cheap compromise in the Winnipeg Capital Region over the past 50 years.
