It's a tough one because now that's it up I see no real easy way to fix it, not that my observation is some grand indication that there is no easy way to fix it. Forget "easy", I don't see any way to fix it all unless you start knocking bridges down, or try some sorcery with the Westhills Way bridge.
A full WB-SB flyover would have required a redesign of pretty much the entire interchange and a incredible increase in cost but we're going to pay for it now and forever.

Can you just add a lane to the West/south movement? The loop is well over the minimum single lane width and has some shoulders. Then you turn one of the WB/NB lanes into an either or lane?
