Again, the tunnel will be needed for much. much more than just airport access. The 2 miles of extra distance will be two miles of hell when everything is developed around there. How long does it take to drive 2 miles out of foothills industrial up Barlow trail towards deerfoot at rush hour? Or 2 miles up 36th street in the NE at rush hour? IMO, the situation on CHB could be worse than that if the tunnel isn't built.
