I seem to recall hearing that the only reason the City built that overpass in the first place was there were some leftover bridge girders from some other project and they were essentially given to the City. The interchange was built for practically no cost so it was really a no brainer. It was offset to the east knowing full well it was temporary and as such would not be in the way of the 'real' interchange when it was eventually built. And technically speaking isn't the 37 Street overpass a City project and not part of the actual Ring Road (provincial project)?
