    Because money. Building an overpass at every intersection on the TransCanada highway will cost literally a hundred billion dollars. The US has far more taxpayers per mile of road. We can barely afford to keep our roads surfaced.

    The solution, of course, is fewer roads or more taxpayers. We’ve elected to go for more taxpayers with aggressive immigration policies. But it will take decades, if not longer, before these intersections all have overpasses.

    And even when it happens, the complaints will just move from the TransCanada to whatever other highway doesn’t get have overpasses.
