When that happens most of the trucks will end up going down DeRenne. While the political will to make this diversion is not available, no alternative for DeRenne will be seriously considered which does not take this into account. The people who live along DeRenne will fight any plan which accommodates this reality tooth and nail so there's an impasse which can't be resolved. Everybody is waiting with their fingers crossed for the completion of the Truman all the way to Abercorn hoping that the trucks will head all the way out there. Given how congested Abercorn is at the point the Truman is predicted to connect it doesn't look like that will be a very happy outcome either.
