@canard, your question didn't provide any quantitative evidence as requested....
I think others have eluded to what I was thinking, which is why not 4 lane this road in both directions....roundabout I hadn't considered, but sure! The infrastructure being installed in kw is nice and will help localized problems that exist(ed) (I.e. Shirley/ wellington intersection, Victoria Street Rd diet, short on/offs for expressway) but to plow a new 4 lane divided highway through farmland, across a river valley, and connect it to existing expressways is a massive undertaking! And as others reported, for a miniscule time saving per trip.
