If they really wanted to improve traffic flow they'd have put either
the A406 or the A1 on a flyover or under. They did it all along the eastern
stretch of the 406 , I can't see why they can't do the same on the
western stretch.

Mechanical rather than financial limitations, maybe ?

No idea. Whatever the reason it needs to be done. Having looked at the
plans I can't see how the mildly updated layout is going to make the slightest
difference to the morning jams. At the very least they could have put
finchley road in a bridge over the 406 since that would have got rid of one
set of traffic lights on the 406.
