Where's the Outrage? #2

Earlier today I discussed the lack of outrage over the over engineering of roads and the misuse of funds toward that end.  I gave an example, and I have an additional example.

Below in the map, zoom in as close as you can to Hwy 100 at Shepard Avenue.  Now follow it eastward all the way to Hwy 32 near the lake. Speechless, aren't you?  Keep in mind they cut off the east segment of Ryan Road so it is longer connected to the rest of the road in order to create this monstrosity.  What possible justification did they have for this?  What was wrong with simply staying with Ryan Road?

Like the intersection of Airline Road and Spring Street, there is no apparent rationale for the vast overbuilding of Highway 100 in this segment.
