Reminds me of a project I heard about yesterday. Decades ago, a bridge for a private railway company was built in such a way that it could also carry an interurban rail and be an automobile highway. After decades, only the railroad portion had ever been used. I suspect that was the intended outcome, and I suspect that the project was, in part at least, taxpayer-funded. From history, I also suspect that many such projects serve as a way to get public dollars into -the right- private pockets. Sometimes they're sold as 'job creation' programs. Uh-huh.
