I picture a lot of the NE airport traffic trying to get through to the tunnel that way, but if the roads are single-lane rural highways still, I can see it getting pretty congested.
Even though the long term solution would make this unnecessary, that's still a long way off, and people are going to want to use the tunnel in the mean time.

Its been mentioned a few times on this thread, The have done nothing to 80th, between 36th and Metis. It is still a Farm road. But is it only 8 blocks and 1 uncontrolled intersection. So not a huge issue to handle a little bit more volume.
36th, they complete removed the farm road, and put in a new road. it is still only 1 lane. But you can clearly tell from the curbs that they intend on making it a 2 lane divided road some time in the near future. But I'm not sure if that's next summer, or in 5 years?
Best way to the tunnel from the S.E will be to take Barlow north of McKnight, and get on 36th by the rotary park.
