If the westbound (southbound to laymen) track off the bridge took the flyover instead of the eastbound track, it could seamlessly integrate into line 2 without fouling up the LIRR main.

Eastbound would require a bit more construction, as a new flyover would need to be constructed. However, looking at Google Maps' satellite view, I believe it would be possible to do this.
True, but it's beginning to look like serious money--and that means butting heads with other projects looking for the same money.
