Wouldn't it make more sense to rehab one side, demolish the other side and move it over to give it the proper space between opposite directions? It might even be possible if expanding to three lanes to push traffic onto the to be demolished side with one lane each way, rehab the other side to three lanes + generous paved shoulder and add a temporary gravel shoulder. Then flip the active side so you have two lanes each direction at reduced speeds for the remaining rehab work.

You could build the interchange at the Perimeter for the St Norbert by-pass without actually building the by-pass road to open at the same time. This is exactly what was done with CentrePort Way and the Headingley by-pass. Further, it would seem there is a heavy overlap of skill set between those two projects making it ideal to fast track the St Norbert interchange and by-pass. Highway 2/3 and Highway 6 should then follow on fairly quickly. The Lag/Perimeter mess though needs to be kept to a separate team.
