If it were to ever be upgraded to an urban cross section with an Ontario Tall Wall the centre median will be filled in. Tunnelling would also be far more disruptive to the traffic flow during construction which will cause Massive Outrage across the region.
The highway already uses separated bridge structures, so this wouldn't be unusual.
As for traffic disruption, it could be more disruptive, unless we spend tons more money. But I'd agree that would be an obstacle.
