I believe the King St overpass is a longer span. The maximum length they can build without a central support.
The main reason for the lack of a bypass road, is that the site is quite constrained on two corners. They can't conveniently knock down the Breithaupt Block or School of Pharmacy to build a bypass. In the case of Weber, the bypass road construction/destruction only looked to add a month or so to the schedule. Efforts for it were largely parallelizable with the underpass work itself.
