Or by deepening the cut as it was done on Highway 6 entering Hamilton. What used to be a steep drop over <50m way back in the day became a gradual slope over ~400m in length.
I seem to remember an official bringing this up as an option if Shantz Hill was chosen. It would be expensive, that's for sure, but again not impossible.
