I see you have the classic micro/macro problem.  Sure a moving car emits
less pollution than one stuck in congestion, but eliminating congestion at a
given point (or over a small area) does not necessarily mean that region
wide pollution decreases.  It could mean that, but it doesn't have to.  I
presume you have engineering data that shows this is the case for the Wilson
bridge replacement?
