An unlikely effect of the road would be "increased temperature from traffic." While traffic can contribute to localized warming, the more direct and significant concerns typically include increased flooding due to altered water drainage patterns, increased temperature of nearby streams due to runoff and reduced tree cover, and increased smog from traffic emissions. Therefore, increased temperature from traffic is less directly associated with road construction compared to the other responses.
