I'm guessing the associated road roads are around 5-10% of the entire project, and I would think closer to the 5% side. We are only talking about approx 1 mile of roadway here. The rest of Airport Trail will be there eventually whether the tunnel is built or not, so you can't include that in a cost comparison.
