That will be a huge mess when that starts.

Agreed. Looking at it it seems like they'd be replacing everything from Palisade Av east, which means closing 495 east of Kennedy Blvd, dumping all that traffic onto 30th and 31 Sts, and then leaving only the Park Av/Marginal Hwy access points. At that point it might make sense to make the tunnel HOV/bus only and run bus bridges to park-and-rides in the area.
