I’m not too familiar with the dynamics of that one but I do know the project has been thrown around for decades now.

I think that’s a bit harder since it’s a main interstate (26)

You wouldn’t be able to have a gap in the interstate and have it still be an interstate. FHWA wouldn’t allow the gap to happen and honestly it’d be more harm than good to have all the freight traffic have to be on roads.

As for 240, once 26 is rerouted / fixed whatever they’re doing I could see making the case for the NE quadrant of 240 being removed.

If not, there does look to be some capping opportunities just north of Downtown since a lot of the roads cross over the interstate.
