The intent of the topic was stuff that has been constructed and opened. Anything that never opened is off-topic and discussion of such belongs in Fictional Highways.

A widening project that is within a few months of contract award is not "fictional".

fiction

There is nothing "imaginary" about this monster.

But the effects of it are very much "fictional" until the project is complete.

A project that is within a few months of contract award is not "fictional".

And until the bid has been awarded, it might as well be fictional.  Projects can and do change, get postponed, cancelled, etc.

I'll nominate the portion of the US 40 rebuild in St. Louis between I-170 and Hampton.  Westbound mainline gets horribly congested where the fourth through lane drops at Skinker, even outside of peak hours.  The interchange at Hanley also needs to have more capacity.

Agreed. Some problems it seems were made worse.

STUFF THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND OPENED TO TRAFFIC.
I didn't think this was that hard of a concept.

OK, I'll let people guess what highway widening project this is, I won't post it.

Hints:  I have hammered it before.  It is in my own state.

Oregon's best example I can think of is the 5 mile "Eddyville Bypass" on US-20 between Newport and Corvallis, which took from 2005 to 2016 and came in over $200M over budget.

Yeah and to think that was only phase 1 (just rumors, don't know if it is true) 

If it had to be widening: OR 217 between OR 8 and US 26, helps a little but the main problem is the closely spaced exits (1/4 mile between 2A and 1).

Why would we give a shit what project you're talking about that doesn't meet the criteria the OP set for the question?
