Whether your traffic is directly on it or merely nearby, it could reduce ping times as it becomes an alternate path for congested links. If the area is already uncongested, it should have no effect.
I keep having to remind myself that all of these links move with the same speed (nearly the speed of light). What is being improved is the capacity. We're widening the highway, not changing the speed limit.
