Because money. Building an overpass at every intersection on the TransCanada highway will cost literally a hundred billion dollars. The US has far more taxpayers per mile of road. We can barely afford to keep our roads surfaced.
The solution, of course, is fewer roads or more taxpayers. We’ve elected to go for more taxpayers with aggressive immigration policies. But it will take decades, if not longer, before these intersections all have overpasses.
And even when it happens, the complaints will just move from the TransCanada to whatever other highway doesn’t get have overpasses.
That image is so haunting. It’s sad the amount of high-profile bus crashes have occurred on Canadian highways over the years. The Boys in Red accident in 2008, the Humboldt Broncos crash in 2018, and now this.
Look at this shit
How the hell did we think it was a good idea to let rural roads intersect with a highway, instead of having an overpass/underpass?
