Loss of lanes? What lanes are lost? It was four lanes, two each direction before, I believe it is the same after.
The turning movements are restricted, but you look at them, the ones removed, with one exception saw very limited use, and the one that was removed that did have a substantial number of movements, has many detours which were analyzed for capacity.
Yes, technically a decrease, but I'd hardly call it "huge". I think we need to stop considering any loss whatsoever to motor vehicle movements as "a huge step backwards". For a motorist, the grid is very well connected.
