Anecdotally, Everyone I have talked to in the shipping industry has indicated there would be no efficiency gains from building it as designed.
Heading west, it's shorter and they'd be doing 110. Not sure how that would take longer than waiting at the lights and doing 50 through st. norbert. All the inefficiencies throughout the system add up. You save 5 minutes here, 10 mins there (Headingley) and it adds up over time.

I'm just in favour of having of a having a good functional transportation system.
