The proposal aims to reroute traffic and alleviate bottlenecks caused by ongoing construction and structural concerns on the BQE. Critics argue the plan could disrupt airspace and raise safety concerns, while supporters highlight its potential to accelerate repairs. The city is now weighing public feedback and technical feasibility before moving forward.
