The kind of traffic will be a factor as well, as there will be some truck traffic on Airport Trail, and through the tunnel.
Even with that though, interchanges are probably 10+ years away from being required. A truck slowly pulling away from a light hurts traffic flow much less when there are two other lanes vs only one other lane.
