This lane would then eventually merge into the westbound service road for I-240, just east of Shields. However, the Shields exit from eastbound I-240 would be removed; eastbound traffic that needs access to Shields would need to exit for Santa Fe, then continue through that intersection. I personally don't foresee this being a very big problem... Most of the traffic nightmare around this area was traffic trying to get to the eastbound I-240 onramp just east of Shields, merging with traffic from eastbound I-240 exiting toward Shields. The worst of it will probably be limited to Southsiders getting used to the new traffic pattern - imo.
